Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-45330?

CVE-2026-45330 affects the following packages: decidim-verifications (RubyGems), decidim-verifications (RubyGems), decidim-verifications (RubyGems). Ecosystems affected: RubyGems.

How do I fix CVE-2026-45330?

Update decidim-verifications to 0.30.9 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-45330 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-45330 in my RubyGems dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for decidim-verifications, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-45330 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.

Is CVE-2026-45330 actively exploited in the wild?

Description

The verification admin mutation flow allows accessing, verifying, and rejecting participants records from another tenant.

Technical description

The verification admin controllers loads pending_authorization_id with a raw Authorization.find(...) and then authorizes the record without checking whether it belongs to current_organization.

Reproduction steps:

An org2 participant uploads their ID:

An admin from another organisation, in this case org1, is able to open the ID from org2 by opening request 35, e.g http://localhost:3001/admin/id_documents/pending_authorizations/35/confirmations/new

The admin then approves this request by looking up the ID in the picture (not shown in this image, but a real ID would expose this)

Now the request has been approved, which can be seen from the org2 participant authorizations page:

Impact

A tenant admin can access, reject or approve another tenant's id_documents requests.
