CVE-2026-116809: OpenPanel missing authorization in event.bots tRPC procedure

CVE-2026-116809 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-10-27

OpenPanel is an analytics and bot management platform that allows teams to track user interactions and manage bot traffic. An unauthenticated attacker can send anonymous requests to retrieve sensitive bot event information (names, types, and internal paths) from projects that are marked private or password-protected, potentially exposing internal application routes. This allows unauthorized visibility into bot behavior and internal infrastructure details that should only be accessible to project owners.

Quick answers

Is CVE-2026-116809 exploited in the wild?: No. Junglewise Threat Intelligence has no report of CVE-2026-116809 being exploited in the wild.
How severe is CVE-2026-116809?: Medium severity, with a CVSS score of 5.3, published 27 October 2026.
Which products and versions are affected?: OpenPanel before 3.0.0.
Is there a fix for CVE-2026-116809?: No fixed version is recorded yet. Require public and password authentication for the event.bots endpoint, matching the authorization logic used by the share.overview endpoint. This should include checking the public flag and enforcing password-cookie validation for anonymous callers before returning bot events. If you run it, Junglewise drafts a mitigation that fits your setup and applies it once you approve, with senior security engineers behind it.

How to fix

Require public and password authentication for the event.bots endpoint, matching the authorization logic used by the share.overview endpoint. This should include checking the public flag and enforcing password-cookie validation for anonymous callers before returning bot events.

Technical details

The event.bots tRPC endpoint performs missing authorization checks for anonymous callers, verifying only that a shareOverview database row exists for a given projectId without checking the public flag or password. A bypass of the intended authorization occurs because the vulnerable code path skips the same public and password validation enforced by the share.overview endpoint, allowing attackers to query bot events by sending unauthenticated requests with only a projectId parameter.

Affected products
