CVE-2026-116810 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-10-27

OpenPanel is an analytics platform that tracks events and displays project data through charts and annotations. An unauthenticated attacker can read any project's annotations—including titles, descriptions, and dates of release notes and deployment markers—by calling a public API endpoint with guessable project identifiers. This allows cross-tenant disclosure of sensitive project metadata without authentication.

## Technical details

The reference.getChartReferences tRPC procedure is marked as publicProcedure but performs no authorization check, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve annotation data (title, description, date) for any projectId. The vulnerability stems from missing access control in the handler; sibling procedures like getReferences correctly enforce getProjectAccess() checks. Attack requires network access and knowledge of the target project's slug-based ID, which are human-guessable or enumerable by collision suffix patterns.
