CVE-2026-28217 — hoppscotch is an open source API development ecosystem

Medium CVSS 6.5

hoppscotch is an open source API development ecosystem. Prior to version 2026.2.0, the `userCollection` GraphQL query accepts an arbitrary collection ID and returns the full collection data — including title, type, and the serialized `data` field containing HTTP requests with headers and potentially secrets — to any authenticated user, without verifying that the requesting user owns the collection. This is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) caused by a missing authorization check that exists on every other operation in the same resolver. Version 2026.2.0 fixes the issue.

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.
