CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2026-24775 is a medium-severity Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity (CWE-345) vulnerability in Openproject Openproject. Its CVSS base score is 6.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Mark-of-the-Web Bypass (T1553.005); ranked at the 1th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SC-23 (Session Authenticity) and SI-7 (Software, Firmware, and Information Integrity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2026-24775 is a vulnerability in OpenProject, an open-source web-based project management software. It resides in a custom extension added to the BlockNote-based editor for collaborative documents, introduced in OpenProject version 17.0.0. The extension supports mentioning OpenProject work packages by loading their details via the OpenProject API but does not properly validate the provided work package ID to ensure it is numeric. This flaw enables the creation of relative links that, when the document is opened, trigger arbitrary GET requests to any internal URL within the OpenProject instance.
A low-privileged authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability by generating a collaborative document with a malicious work package mention using a relative URL path instead of a valid numeric ID. Exploitation requires user interaction, as a victim must open the document in the editor, prompting the unauthorized API calls. Successful exploitation yields low integrity impact and high availability impact, with no confidentiality loss, reflected in the CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H).
The issue, tied to CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity), was addressed in version 0.0.22 of the op-blocknote-extensions package, which ships with OpenProject 17.0.2. As a temporary measure, administrators can disable collaborative document editing in Settings -> Documents -> Real time collaboration -> Disable. Further details appear in the OpenProject security advisory at GHSA-35c6-x276-2pvc and the extension release notes at the v0.0.22 tag.

Vulnerability Data
OpenProject is an open-source, web-based project management software. In the new editor for collaborative documents based on BlockNote, OpenProject maintainers added a custom extension in OpenProject version 17.0.0 that allows to mention OpenProject work packages in the document. To show…
more
work package details, the editor loads details about the work package via the OpenProject API. For this API call, the extension to the BlockNote editor did not properly validate the given work package ID to be only a number. This allowed an attacker to generate a document with relative links that upon opening could make arbitrary `GET` requests to any URL within the OpenProject instance. This issue was patched in version version 0.0.22 of op-blocknote-extensions, which was shipped with OpenProject 17.0.2. If users cannot update immediately to version 17.0.2 of OpenProject, administrators can disable collaborative document editing in Settings -> Documents -> Real time collaboration -> Disable.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Explicit requirement to protect session authenticity structurally prevents the weakness for communications.
Integrity verification tools detect (but do not stop) the acceptance of data lacking authenticity.
Cryptographic mechanisms can be used to verify authenticity, thereby preventing acceptance of invalid data.
Associating security attributes with exchanged information supports verification of authenticity.
Integrity protection on transmitted data directly stops acceptance of unauthenticated or altered data.
