{"id":"CVE-2026-27838","aliases":["GHSA-42cr-w2gr-m54q","PYSEC-2026-3418"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-27838","summary":"wger: IDOR via user-unscoped cache keys on routine API actions exposes workout data","details":"### Summary\n\nFive routine detail action endpoints check a cache before calling `self.get_object()`. Cache keys are scoped only by `pk` — no user ID is included. When a victim has previously accessed their routine via the API, an attacker can retrieve the cached response for the same PK without any ownership check.\n\n### Details\n\n`wger/manager/api/views.py` — five actions follow this pattern (lines 134–201):\n\n```python\n@action(detail=True)\ndef date_sequence_display_mode(self, request, pk=None):\n    cache_key = make_routine_api_date_sequence_display_cache_key(pk)\n    cached = cache.get(cache_key)\n    if cached:\n        return Response(cached)   # returned WITHOUT calling self.get_object()\n    # only reaches ownership check on cache miss\n    routine = self.get_object()\n    ...\n```\n\nCache key construction in `wger/utils/cache.py:89–106`:\n\n```python\ndef make_routine_api_date_sequence_display_cache_key(routine_id):\n    return f\"routine-api-date-sequence-display-{routine_id}\"\n    # No user ID in key\n```\n\nCache TTL: 1 month (`4 * 604800` seconds, `settings_global.py:461`).\n\nAffected endpoints:\n```\nGET /api/v2/routine/{pk}/date-sequence-display/\nGET /api/v2/routine/{pk}/date-sequence-gym/\nGET /api/v2/routine/{pk}/structure/\nGET /api/v2/routine/{pk}/logs/\nGET /api/v2/routine/{pk}/stats/\n```\n\n### PoC\n\n```\n1. Victim (user A) visits GET /api/v2/routine/5/structure/ → response cached under key \"routine-api-structure-5\"\n2. Attacker (user B) visits GET /api/v2/routine/5/structure/ → cache hit → returns user A's routine structure without any ownership check\n```\n\nRequires the victim to have previously accessed the endpoint (cache must be populated). Once populated, the cache entry is valid for 1 month.\n\n### Impact\n\nAn attacker with a registered account can retrieve another user's routine details — workout day sequences, exercise structure, training logs, and statistics — from cache without ownership verification.\n\n**Fix**: Include the user ID in the cache key:\n```python\ndef make_routine_api_date_sequence_display_cache_key(routine_id, user_id):\n    return f\"routine-api-date-sequence-display-{user_id}-{routine_id}\"\n```\n\nOr move `self.get_object()` before the cache lookup so ownership is always verified first.","published":"2026-02-26T22:04:57.968Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:19.177608905Z","cvss":{"score":3.1,"severity":"LOW","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N"},"epss":{"score":0.00245,"percentile":0.15955,"asOf":"2026-09-17"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"wger","fixedVersion":null}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/wger-project/wger/commit/e964328784e2ee2830a1991d69fadbce86ac9fbf","label":"wger-project/wger@e964328"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/27xxx/CVE-2026-27838.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/wger-project/wger/security/advisories/GHSA-42cr-w2gr-m54q"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-27838"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/wger-project/wger/commit/e964328784e2ee2830a1991d69fadbce86ac9fbf"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/wger-project/wger"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:19.177608905Z"}}
