CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2026-25877 — Chartbrew is an open-source web application that can connect directly to databases and APIs and use the data to create charts

Medium CVSS 6.5

Chartbrew is an open-source web application that can connect directly to databases and APIs and use the data to create charts. Prior to version 4.8.1, the application performs authorization checks based solely on the project_id parameter when handling chart-related operations (update, delete, etc.). No authorization check is performed against the chart_id itself. This allows an authenticated user who has access to any project to manipulate or access charts belonging to other users/ project. This issue has been patched in version 4.8.1.

Authorization bypass, IDOR, and cross-tenant access

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map object and action authorization checks across API, UI, batch, import/export, and background-job paths.
  • Identify tenant, ownership, role, and policy boundaries for affected resources and administrative operations.
  • Use synthetic fixtures to compare intended access matrices without accessing another user's real data.

Remediate safely

  • Enforce server-side authorization at each resource access and state transition using the authenticated principal and trusted tenant context.
  • Scope data queries by tenant and ownership; treat client-supplied identifiers, roles, and policy claims as untrusted.
  • Add deny-by-default policy tests for horizontal and vertical access across every affected transport.
