This includes reviewing and updating Budibase server versions, implementing additional monitoring and logging, and restricting access to the affected endpoint. Security teams should also verify current Budibase server版本,

Why it matters

CVE-2026-100686 is a high-severity vulnerability in Budibase server versions before 3.45.0, allowing for cross-workspace privilege escalation. Budibase server administrators and users should review and update their versions to 3.45.0 or later, implement additional monitoring and logging, and restrict access to the affected endpoint.

  • Potential unauthorized access to sensitive data and systems
  • Privilege escalation leading to increased control over Budibase workspaces
  • Need for verification of current Budibase server versions and potential updates
  • Potential disruption to Budibase services if exploited

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in the POST /api/global/groups/:groupId/apps endpoint of Budibase server versions before 3.45.0. It allows builders to assign application roles across workspace boundaries, potentially leading to unauthorized access and privilege escalation. The issue arises from a lack of per-app authorization checks, enabling attackers to modify user group role mappings and gain admin roles in other workspaces. This vulnerability has significant implications for Budibase server administrators and users, emphasizing the need for prompt version updates and enhanced security measures.

Defensive priority
