CVE-2026-63101 fossasia CVE debrief
CVE-2026-63101 is a high-severity vulnerability in Open Event Server through version 1.19.1. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to export the complete member roster of any group, including sensitive information such as email addresses, names, join dates, and roles. This is achieved by exploiting the unauthenticated POST endpoint for CSV export of group followers, which lacks proper authentication. The vulnerability exists due to a missing authentication decorator in the group followers CSV export endpoint. Attackers can enumerate sequential group IDs via brute-force, trigger an export via the unauthenticated POST endpoint, and then poll the unauthenticated task status endpoint until completion to retrieve a download URL containing the full member CSV.

Security teams should also monitor for suspicious activity related to group follower exports and conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments.
Technical summary
The vulnerability exists in the group followers CSV export endpoint of Open Event Server. This endpoint lacks authentication, allowing attackers to export member rosters by submitting requests with sequential group IDs. The process involves brute-forcing group IDs, triggering an export via the unauthenticated POST endpoint, and polling the task status endpoint to retrieve a download URL containing the full member CSV. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive information, including email addresses, names, join dates, and roles of group members.
Defensive priority
High
Recommended defensive actions
- Apply patches or updates to Open Event Server to version 1.19.2 or later.
- Implement authentication and authorization for the CSV export endpoint.
