Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization

CVSSv4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote user to overwrite translations in target languages outside their permitted language scope.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in Tolgee's auto-translate endpoint when permission checks use filtered language tags but translation writes use the original requested tags. A remote user can submit an auto-translate request with useMachineTranslation=true&languages=de while holding project-level translation edit capability but lacking permission for German to overwrite German translations.
