CVE-2026-46424
CWE-269Published: May 27, 2026· Updated: May 28, 2026
Official Description
Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to 3.38.2, the public API role unassignment endpoint (POST /api/public/v1/roles/unassign) updates user documents in CouchDB but does not invalidate the corresponding Redis user cache entries. Because the authentication middleware resolves user identity and permissions from this cache (TTL: 3600 seconds), a user whose admin, builder, or app-level roles have been revoked via the public API retains those privileges for up to 1 hour. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.38.2.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-46424 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
