AFFECTED_VERSIONS: Prior to version 3.33.4
---END_METADATA---

Description Summary:
Budibase versions prior to 3.33.4 are vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). The SSRF protection is ineffective by default, allowing unauthenticated requests to internal services.

Executive Summary:
Budibase is vulnerable to a critical unauthenticated SSRF flaw because its internal IP blacklist protection is disabled by default in official deployment configurations.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31818

Affected Software: Budibase Budibase

Affected Versions: Prior to version 3.33.4

Vulnerability: A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) exists in the REST datasource connector. The platform's protection mechanism is ineffective because the BLACKLIST_IPS environment variable is empty by default, causing the security check to return false and allow all requests to internal resources.

Business Impact

Attackers can use the Budibase server as a proxy to scan and attack internal network services that are not otherwise reachable from the internet. The CVSS score of 9.6 highlights the high risk of internal infrastructure exposure, which could lead to secondary compromises of databases or internal management tools.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action: Update Budibase to version 3.33.4 and ensure that the BLACKLIST_IPS environment variable is correctly populated with internal and reserved IP ranges.

Proactive Monitoring: Review outbound network logs from the Budibase server for requests directed at internal IP addresses (e.g., 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x).

Compensating Controls: Use network-level egress filtering to prevent the Budibase container from initiating connections to sensitive internal network segments.

Exploitation Status

Public Exploit Available: false

Analyst Notes: As of Apr 3, 2026, there is no public information indicating active exploitation of this vulnerability. However, the "fail-open" nature of the protection mechanism makes this highly exploitable in standard installations.

Analyst Recommendation

This SSRF vulnerability effectively neutralizes the network perimeter for any organization running Budibase. It is imperative to update to version 3.33.4 immediately. Furthermore, administrators should adopt a "deny-by-default" egress policy for application containers to mitigate the impact of similar SSRF flaws in the future.

Description Summary:
A regex bypass in Budibase's middleware allows unauthenticated attackers to skip all authentication and authorization checks by appending a webhook path pattern to any API request URL.

Executive Summary:
A critical authentication bypass in Budibase allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access any server-side API endpoint, resulting in complete unauthorized control over the platform.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31816

Affected Software: Budibase Server

Affected Versions: 3.31.4 and earlier

Vulnerability: The isWebhookEndpoint() function uses an unanchored regex against the full request URL, which includes query parameters. An unauthenticated attacker can bypass the authorized() middleware by appending ?/webhooks/trigger to any request, skipping all role checks and CSRF protections.

Business Impact

This vulnerability effectively disables the security layer of the entire Budibase platform. An attacker can perform any action permitted by the API, including data exfiltration, user manipulation, and workflow modification. The CVSS score of 9.1 reflects the critical risk to organizational data and the ease with which an unauthenticated actor can compromise the internal tools built on the platform.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action: Upgrade Budibase server to version 3.31.5 or later immediately to resolve the regex validation error in the middleware.

Proactive Monitoring: Inspect server logs for any API requests containing query strings with webhook-related patterns (e.g., webhooks/trigger) originating from unauthorized users.

Compensating Controls: Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to block requests where the query string contains path traversal or webhook-specific keywords used to bypass middleware logic.

Exploitation Status

Public Exploit Available: false

Analyst Notes: As of March 9, 2026, there is no public information indicating active exploitation of this vulnerability. However, the simplicity of appending a query string to bypass authentication makes this an extremely attractive target for attackers.

Analyst Recommendation

This is a "zero-click" authentication bypass that places all data within the Budibase environment at risk. It is imperative that administrators apply the update to version 3.31.5 immediately to re-establish the security perimeter of their low-code applications.

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ksmbd component allows unauthorized memory access via malicious SID structures.

Executive Summary:
A network-exploitable memory access vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ksmbd component could lead to unauthorized access or system instability.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31611

Affected Software: Linux Kernel

Affected Versions: See vendor advisory for affected versions

Vulnerability: This is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the parse_dacl() function. The vulnerability occurs because the code does not verify that a Security Identifier (SID) contains at least 3 sub-authorities before attempting to access sub_auth[2], allowing an attacker to read out-of-bounds memory.

Business Impact

The vulnerability is network-exploitable, meaning an attacker could potentially gain unauthorized access to file resources or cause a system crash by sending a crafted SID. With a CVSS score of 8.6, this is a high-severity risk for any infrastructure utilizing the ksmbd server for file sharing.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action: Apply the latest kernel security patches from your vendor. Multiple commits are available for various kernel branches to ensure the SID structure is validated before access.

Proactive Monitoring: Review ksmbd access logs for anomalous or malformed SID patterns that may indicate an exploitation attempt.

Compensating Controls: Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or network-level firewall rules to restrict access to the ksmbd service to trusted subnets only.

Exploitation Status

Public Exploit Available: false

Analyst Notes: As of June 2, 2026, there is no public information indicating active exploitation of this vulnerability. However, due to the nature of the flaw, the potential for exploitation is high.
