Missing Authorization

CVE-2026-45625

Severity Low
Score 0/10

Summary

Arcane's huma-based REST API exposes nine endpoints under `/api/customize/git-repositories` and `/api/git-repositories/sync` for managing GitOps source repositories and their stored credentials. Eight of those endpoints (`list`, `create`, `get`, `update`, `delete`, `test`, `listBranches`, `browseFiles`) never call the `checkAdmin(ctx)` helper that every other admin-managed resource (container registries, environments, users, API keys, swarm, settings, system, notifications, events) uses, and the huma authentication middleware deliberately enforces only authentication, not the `admin` role. As a result, any logged-in user with the default `user` role can list, create, modify, delete, and test git repository configurations. By repointing an existing repository's URL to an attacker-controlled host while omitting the `token`/`sshKey` fields (which `UpdateRepository` only rewrites when explicitly supplied), the attacker causes Arcane to decrypt the legitimate PAT/SSH key on its next `/test`, `/branches`, or `/files` call and present it as HTTP Basic auth (or SSH key auth) to the attacker's host -- producing a one-step exfiltration of plaintext Git credentials. This issue affects Arcane versions prior to 1.19.0.

CWE-862 - Missing Authorization

The missing authorization vulnerability occurs when a software program allows users to access privileged parts of the program without verifying the user credentials. Impact of such a vulnerability depends on the resources employed by the software, ranging from account takeover to sensitive information exposure, denial of service, and complete system takeover.
