Summary

CVE-2026-44678 is a high-severity Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 7.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 13th 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 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Tuist is a virtual platform team for Swift app devs. In 1.180.8 and earlier, the DELETE /api/projects/{account_handle}/{project_handle}/previews/{preview_id} endpoint loads the preview by its UUID without verifying that the preview belongs to the project resolved from the URL path. The route's…

project-level authorization plug (AuthorizationPlug, :preview) authorizes the caller against the project encoded in account_handle/project_handle — which the attacker controls — and then the action deletes whichever preview's UUID is supplied. The check therefore guards the wrong project.

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
Why these techniques?

CWE-639 IDOR in public API endpoint directly enables exploitation of a public-facing application for unauthorized deletion.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires the system to enforce approved authorizations on objects so that a caller authorized only for one project cannot delete previews belonging to another.

prevent

Requires validation of supplied identifiers (preview_id) against the resource context (project_handle) before performing the delete operation.

prevent

Requires that every access decision apply the minimum set of privileges needed for the specific object, exposing the missing ownership check in the preview authorization path.

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Enforcing authorization policy and least privilege directly blocks user-controlled key tampering that bypasses access checks.

PR.IR-01 mostly match
prevents

Logical access controls prevent unauthorized data access that results from missing authorization checks on object references.

detects

Security testing can detect missing authorization checks but does not prevent the weakness in production.

prevents

Information access restriction explicitly enforces that users may only retrieve data they are authorized to see, directly addressing user-controlled key bypass.

prevents

Access control policy directly requires enforcement of authorization rules that prevent unauthorized access via manipulated keys.

prevents

Managing access rights includes ensuring users can only access their own records and not bypass authorization by altering identifiers.

mitigates

Privileged access rights control restricts what data each user may access, mitigating direct object reference attacks.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes authorization design but does not itself implement runtime access checks.
