CVE-2026-44718Mathesar: Missing collaborator checks allowed access to saved explorations in other databases
Medium 5.3
In plain English
A medium-severity authorization bypass via user-controlled key in mathesar from mathesar-foundation. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.3% (higher than 20% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
Mathesar is a web application that makes working with PostgreSQL databases both simple and powerful. From 0.2.0 to before 0.10.0, explorations.get, explorations.replace, and explorations.delete operate on an exploration_id without verifying that the requesting user was a collaborator on the exploration’s database. An authenticated user on the same Mathesar installation who knew or guessed an exploration ID could read, replace, or delete a saved exploration belonging to a database where they were not a collaborator. This affected Mathesar-managed saved exploration definitions, including names, descriptions, selected columns, display metadata, filters, sorting, and transformations. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.10.0.
