CVE-2026-82869

7.7

ToolJet · ToolJet

ToolJet Database contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the join_tables endpoint, allowing authenticated users to access data from unauthorized workspaces.

Executive summary

A privilege escalation flaw in ToolJet Database allows authenticated users to access sensitive data across workspaces, necessitating an immediate update to version 3.16.44 or later.

Vulnerability

The vulnerability exists in the join_tables endpoint, which fails to validate workspace membership or user roles. Any authenticated user can exploit this by providing a target workspace identifier to read arbitrary database tables.

Business impact

The ability for unauthorized users to access data from other workspaces poses a significant risk to data confidentiality and regulatory compliance. Given the CVSS score of 7.7, this high-severity vulnerability could lead to the exposure of sensitive business information and unauthorized data exfiltration.

Remediation

Immediate Action: Upgrade all instances of ToolJet to version 3.16.44 or newer to incorporate the necessary authorization checks.

Proactive Monitoring: Review access logs for the join_tables endpoint to identify any suspicious requests involving workspace identifiers that do not belong to the authenticated user.

Compensating Controls: If patching is not immediately feasible, restrict network access to the database management interface and implement strict API gateway controls to filter requests to the join_tables endpoint.

Exploitation status

Public Exploit Available: No (exploit_available: false)

Analyst recommendation

This vulnerability represents a critical failure in authorization logic that directly impacts data isolation between tenants. Administrators must prioritize updating to version 3.16.44 immediately to prevent unauthorized cross-workspace data access. Failure to remediate this issue leaves the environment exposed to internal privilege escalation risks.
