CVE-2026-76073
8.8HumanSignal · Label Studio
Label Studio fails to properly scope annotation detail endpoints, permitting unauthorized access to sensitive data across different organizations.
Executive summary
An authorization bypass vulnerability in Label Studio allows authenticated users to access annotation details belonging to other organizations, threatening data confidentiality.
Vulnerability
This is an authorization bypass flaw (CWE-639) where the application fails to validate the organization scope of the requesting user. An authenticated attacker (PR:L) can manipulate the annotation detail endpoint to access data they are not authorized to view.
Business impact
This vulnerability directly compromises the confidentiality of proprietary data by allowing cross-organization data leakage. With a CVSS score of 8.8, the high severity reflects the risk of unauthorized exposure of sensitive annotation datasets, which could lead to severe reputational damage and loss of intellectual property.
Remediation
Immediate Action: Monitor vendor communications for the release of a security patch and apply it as soon as it becomes available.
Proactive Monitoring: Audit access logs for unusual patterns of data retrieval from the annotation detail API, particularly requests that deviate from normal user behavior.
Compensating Controls: If a patch is not yet available, restrict access to the Label Studio instance to trusted internal networks and implement strict role-based access control policies to limit exposure.
Exploitation status
Public Exploit Available: false
Analyst recommendation
Organizations using Label Studio should exercise caution and restrict access to the application until a security update is released. Monitoring for unauthorized API access is essential to detect potential exploitation attempts until the underlying authorization mechanism is corrected by the vendor.
