Technical details

A missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in the CostReportsController of OpenProject. The 'rename' and 'update' actions fail to verify if the requesting user has the appropriate ownership or permission levels before modifying a report. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted POST request to the cost report endpoints if they can guess or discover the numeric ID of a public report. This allows the attacker to overwrite filter configurations, groupings, and report names. The issue is resolved in versions 17.3.2 and 17.4.0.
