Real-World Exposure
org.rundeck:rundeckReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
Authenticated users can craft a request that reveals Execution data and logs and Job details that they are not authorized to see.
Depending on the configuration and the way that Rundeck is used, this could result in anything between a high severity risk, or a very low risk. If access is tightly restricted and all users on the system have access to all projects, this is not really much of an issue. If access is wider and allows login for users that do not have access to any projects, or project access is restricted, there is a larger issue. If access is meant to be restricted and secrets, sensitive data, or intellectual property are exposed in Rundeck execution output and job data, the risk becomes much higher.
Details
An authenticated user could craft a request to:
- View Executions and download execution logs without access to
readorviewthe associated Job, or ad-hoc resource. - Get the list of running executions in a project, without Event
readaccess, if they havereadaccess to view the project. - View the Options definitions of a Job without access to view the Job.
- View the definition of a workflow step of a Job without access to view the Job.
- View the SCM diff of a modified Job definition if SCM is enabled, without Project
exportaccess level. - View the New User Profile Form for a different username, without User
adminaccess. Note: they would not be allowed to create or modify a profile for a different user, or reveal any user profile information for a different user.
Some authenticated API requests were not correctly checking appropriate authorization levels:
- The list of running Executions would be sent without
readaccess to Events. - The Plugin Input Parameters for a SCM plugin would be sent without authorization for project
import,scm_import,export, orscm_exportactions. - Job Retry action could retry an execution without
readorviewaccess to the Execution, which would reveal the Execution's option values. (runaccess to the Job was still required).

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.rundeck:rundeck, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update org.rundeck:rundeck to 3.2.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-5679-7qrc-5m7j is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.
