CVE-2026-72541

SQL injection vulnerability in Windmill CE and EE versions 1.276.0 through 1.603.2 exists in the folder ownership management functionality. It allows an authenticated attacker to inject SQL through the owner parameter.

Windmill is an open-source developer platform for internal code: APIs, background jobs, workflows and UIs. Prior to 1.715.0, a resource-scoped API token could read script contents outside its allowed path scope through GET /api/w/{workspace}/scripts/list_search. The route-level scope middleware validated the token domain and action but did not enforce the resource/path segment, and the list_search_scripts handler had no additional check_scopes call or per-row filtering before returning script path and content fields. A token such as scripts:read:f/allowed/* could therefore receive source code for unrelated paths in the same workspace, potentially disclosing internal automation logic, integration details, business logic, inline configuration, or hardcoded secrets and credentials. Exploitation required possession of a valid scoped API token for the workspace but did not require administrator privileges. This issue is fixed in version 1.715.0.

A missing authorization vulnerability in Windmill Labs Windmill through 1.783.0 allows authenticated operators to write job progress and read job metrics for any job in the workspace regardless of ownership. The job_metrics handlers accept no authorization extractor, bypassing workspace-level access controls. An operator can monitor sensitive job execution data and inject misleading progress for jobs they do not own.

An information disclosure vulnerability in Windmill Labs Windmill through 1.783.0 allows any authenticated workspace member to read legacy ownerless draft scripts that contain plaintext resource credentials. Drafts with a null owner email bypass ACL enforcement and are returned to any workspace member who queries the drafts endpoint. Sensitive credentials stored in these drafts are exposed across ACL boundaries.

Windmill prior to version 1.703.2 has an incorrect default permissions vulnerability in nsjail sandbox configuration files where /etc is bind-mounted without read-write restrictions. This allows authenticated users to write arbitrary entries to /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, and /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt from within script execution sandboxes.
