Technical details

A cross-project IDOR / authorization context confusion exists in the Calendar and Team Planner modules of OpenProject. The application performs project-based authorization using the ':project_id' provided in the URL, but subsequently loads the target 'Query' object by its ':id' without verifying that the object actually belongs to the authorized project. An attacker with management permissions in 'Project A' can send a DELETE request referencing 'Project A' in the URL while targeting the ID of a public Calendar or Team Planner view belonging to 'Project B'. This allows the attacker to bypass intended permission boundaries and delete shared views they do not own. The issue is fixed in versions 17.3.3 and 17.4.1.
