GHSA-W5XJ-99CG-RCCM
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-14 22:22 – Updated: 2026-05-29 21:46Impact
The vulnerability allows any registered and authenticated user to accept or reject any amendments. The impact is on any users who have created proposals where the amendments feature is enabled. This also elevates the user accepting the amendment as the author of the original proposal as people amending proposals are provided coauthorship on the coauthorable resources.
The only check done when accepting or rejecting amendments is whether the amendment reactions are enabled for the component: https://github.com/decidim/decidim/blob/9d6c3d2efe5a83bb02e095824ff5998d96a75eb7/decidim-core/app/permissions/decidim/permissions.rb#L107
The permission checks have been changed at 1b99136 which was introduced in released version 0.19.0. I have not investigated whether prior versions are also affected.
Patches
Not available
Workarounds
Disable amendment reactions for the amendable component (e.g. proposals).

"details": "### Impact\nThe vulnerability allows any registered and authenticated user to accept or reject any amendments. The impact is on any users who have created proposals where the amendments feature is enabled. This also elevates the user accepting the amendment as the author of the original proposal as people amending proposals are provided coauthorship on the coauthorable resources.\n\nThe only check done when accepting or rejecting amendments is whether the amendment reactions are enabled for the component:\nhttps://github.com/decidim/decidim/blob/9d6c3d2efe5a83bb02e095824ff5998d96a75eb7/decidim-core/app/permissions/decidim/permissions.rb#L107\n\nThe permission checks have been changed at 1b99136 which was introduced in released version 0.19.0. I have not investigated whether prior versions are also affected.\n\n### Patches\n\nNot available\n\n### Workarounds\nDisable amendment reactions for the amendable component (e.g. proposals).",

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-17
Strategy: Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
