Budibase: Unauthenticated REST Datasource Credential Theft via Cross-Origin Auth Leak (bypass of CVE-2026-48152))

Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to 3.40.1, RestIntegration._req in packages/server/src/integrations/rest.ts attached credentials from getAuthHeaders and defaultHeaders without requiring the final request destination to match the datasource origin. An unauthenticated caller of a PUBLIC POST /api/v2/queries/:queryId query could supply an absolute or parameterized path to an attacker-controlled host and receive the stored bearer, basic, or static-header credentials. This issue is fixed in version 3.40.1.

Root cause

A user-supplied file name is joined with the allowed directory, but the result is never checked to confirm it is still inside that directory.

The bug in code

The whole CWE-22 class

A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

Vulnerable

ts
const file = path.join(ROOT, req.query.name);res.sendFile(file);

Fixed

ts
const file = path.resolve(ROOT, req.query.name);if (!file.startsWith(ROOT + path.sep)) {  return res.sendStatus(400);}res.sendFile(file);
