CVE-2026-114069: Trigger.dev improper authorization in API environment variables endpoint

CVE-2026-114069 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-10-21

Trigger.dev is a workflow automation platform that manages environment variables and API credentials. A vulnerability in the environment variables API endpoint allows attackers with restricted read-only API keys to obtain the environment's root secret and all plaintext secrets, then use them to trigger tasks, deploy code, and create administrative credentials. This affects staging, production, and preview environments.

Technologies: Trigger.dev. Vendors: Trigger.dev.

Technical details

The GET /api/v1/projects/:projectRef/envvars endpoint returns the environment's root API key (TRIGGER_SECRET_KEY) to any caller with read:envvars scope, including restricted additional keys that should only access environment variables. The vulnerable resolveVariablesForEnvironment() function injects the root key for all non-development environments. An attacker with a restricted Variables-only additional key can call this endpoint to obtain the root tr_prod/tr_stg/tr_preview credential and use it for full environment access including task triggering, webhook rotation, and JWT minting.
