CVE-2026-53444 Details
Description
Wekan is open source kanban built with Meteor. Prior to 9.32, Wekan OIDC-related Meteor methods in packages/wekan-oidc/oidc_server.js, server/models/org.js, and server/models/team.js are globally callable without the admin authorization checks used by their non-OIDC counterparts. Authenticated users can call setCreateOrgFromOidc, setOrgAllFieldsFromOidc, setCreateTeamFromOidc, setTeamAllFieldsFromOidc, boardRoutineOnLogin, or groupRoutineOnLogin to create or modify organizations and teams, and groupRoutineOnLogin can grant global admin privileges when PROPAGATE_OIDC_DATA is enabled. This issue is fixed in version 9.32.
A vulnerability in Wekan's OIDC integration allows authenticated users to escalate privileges to admin. This issue affects Wekan versions prior to 9.32. The vulnerability arises because six Meteor methods related to OIDC are globally callable without authorization checks, unlike their non-OIDC counterparts which require admin rights. Exploitation of this vulnerability enables unauthorized creation and modification of organizations and teams, and can also grant global admin privileges under certain conditions.
Users can update to Wekan version 9.32 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
