Summary

CVE-2026-55880 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 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 9th 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

OpenReplay is a self-hosted session replay suite. In 1.27.0 and earlier, three dashboard and note mutation functions ran their SQL without the ownership predicate that their sibling read and edit functions use: notes.delete filtered only on note id and project…

id, while dashboards.update_widget and dashboards.remove_widget filtered only on dashboard id and widget id, allowing any authenticated member to delete another user's private session notes and remove or rewrite widgets on another user's private dashboards.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
Why these techniques?

The vulnerability allows any authenticated user to modify or delete resources belonging to other users due to missing authorization checks (CWE-639), directly enabling privilege escalation by abusing insufficient access controls on dashboard and note mutation functions.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Enforces ownership predicates on every note/dashboard mutation so only the resource owner (or authorized role) can delete or modify it, directly blocking the missing authorization checks in CVE-2026-55880.

prevent

Restricts each authenticated user to the minimum privileges required for their own notes and dashboards, eliminating the ability of any member to act on another user’s private resources.

prevent

Enforces information-flow rules that confine dashboard and note objects to the owning user’s context, preventing cross-user write operations even when the application code omits the predicate.

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.
