CVE-2026-27839
MEDIUMCVE-2026-27839 is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.3) CWE-639 vulnerability in wger. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-27839 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
wger: IDOR in nutritional_values endpoints exposes private dietary data via direct ORM lookup
Blast Radius
wgerReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
wger is a free, open-source workout and fitness manager. In versions up to and including 2.4, three nutritional_values action endpoints fetch objects via Model.objects.get(pk=pk) — a raw ORM call that bypasses the user-scoped queryset. Any authenticated user can read another user's private nutrition plan data, including caloric intake and full macro breakdown, by supplying an arbitrary PK. Commit 29876a1954fe959e4b58ef070170e81703dab60e contains a fix for the issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for wger. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of wger has shipped for CVE-2026-27839 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
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.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-27839 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-27839. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
