CVE-2026-73069 twentyhq CVE debrief
A critical vulnerability was found in Twenty, an open-source CRM platform, which allows a workspace administrator with the DATA_MODEL permission to execute arbitrary PostgreSQL statements as the application database user. This issue is fixed in version 2.15.0. The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the buildSqlColumnDefinition function, allowing for potential code execution and data tampering. Defenders should assess exposure and prioritize patching to prevent potential code execution.

Who should care
Defenders responsible for Twenty CRM platform deployments should assess exposure and prioritize patching to prevent potential code execution. This includes reviewing current workspace administrators with the DATA_MODEL permission and ensuring that they are properly restricted. Additionally, defenders should monitor database activity for suspicious queries and review compensating controls for exposed systems.
Why it matters
Defenders should prioritize patching to prevent potential code execution and data tampering. Workspace administrators with the DATA_MODEL permission pose a risk if not properly restricted.
- Potential code execution as the application database user
- Elevation of privileges for workspace administrators
- Possible data tampering or unauthorized access
Technical summary
The vulnerability exists in the Twenty open-source CRM platform, specifically in the buildSqlColumnDefinition function. A workspace administrator with the DATA_MODEL permission can supply settings.asExpression for the system TS_VECTOR field searchVector, leading to arbitrary PostgreSQL statement execution. This issue allows for potential code execution as the application database user and elevation of privileges for workspace administrators. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2.15.0, which properly validates input to prevent such attacks.
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize patching to prevent potential code execution.
Recommended defensive actions
- Patch to version 2.15.0 or later
- Restrict DATA_MODEL permission to necessary users
- Monitor database activity for suspicious queries
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
- Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
