CVE-2026-50007 Details
Description
Actual is an open-source personal finance application. Prior to 26.7.0, a missing authorization issue allows a shared user with user_access on a budget file to perform owner-only file management actions. A non-owner shared user can call file-management endpoints intended for higher-privilege users, including /delete-user-file, /reset-user-file, and /user-create-key, because requireFileAccess treats ordinary shared access as sufficient for file-management operations that should be restricted to the file owner or an administrator. This issue is fixed in version 26.7.0.
A missing authorization vulnerability has been identified in the Actual personal finance application, prior to version 26.7.0. This issue allows shared users with 'user_access' on a budget file to perform file management actions reserved for owners. The vulnerability arises because the 'requireFileAccess' function incorrectly considers ordinary shared access sufficient for operations that should be limited to file owners or administrators. As a result, non-owner shared users can manipulate file management endpoints, including deleting files, resetting file states, and modifying encryption keys.
Users can update to Actual version 26.7.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
