CVE-2026-112342: Tandoor Recipes improper cache-key design privilege escalation

CVE-2026-112342 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.1 · Published 2026-10-23

Tandoor Recipes is a recipe management application that controls user access to different "spaces" based on group memberships. The application incorrectly caches permission decisions using only the user ID, not accounting for the active space. An authenticated attacker can obtain admin privileges in a space they control, then switch to a victim's space where they have lower privileges, and the stale cached admin decision allows them to perform administrative actions they should not have access to.

Technical details

The permission_helper.py cache key is constructed using only the user's primary key, omitting the active space identifier. Cache entries persist and are refreshed on every request, allowing an attacker to retain elevated group permissions across different spaces. By creating their own space to gain an admin group, then switching to a victim space, attackers bypass group revocations and permission checks across multiple views and permission classes.
