CVE-2022-51026
CriticalCVSS 9.8Summary
Bytebase 0.12.0 before 1.0.1 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user. The flaw stems from trusting client-supplied GitLab provider configuration in the POST /api/auth/login/GITLAB_SELF_HOST endpoint. Attackers can set instanceUrl to a server they control that returns an active user with a chosen email. Bytebase then issues session tokens for that principal, letting attackers impersonate existing users including the Owner or create new members.
Risk Assessment
The flaw lets an unauthenticated attacker fully take over accounts, including the Owner account, and access managed databases. Bytebase deployments with GitLab Self-Host login enabled are exposed.
Recommendation
Update Bytebase to version 1.0.1 or later. Until patched, consider disabling GitLab Self-Host login and audit accounts.
Other vulnerabilities in Bytebase
See all- CVE-2026-115322Medium
Bytebase before 3.16.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in GetTaskRunLog, GetTaskRunSession and PreviewTaskRunRollback that allows authenticated users to access other projects' task runs by UID. Attackers with permission on one project can supply foreign task or task run UIDs to read execution logs, database session details, and rollback SQL from other projects.
- CVE-2026-115321Medium
Bytebase before 3.16.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the UpdateIssueComment handler that allows low-privileged project users to modify comments in other projects by supplying a foreign comment UID. Attackers with any project role, including Project Viewer, can set their own project's issue as parent and reference another project's comment UID to overwrite comments they cannot access.
