CVE-2026-61726: Tandoor Recipes authorization bypass in recipe API

CVE-2026-61726 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-10-16

Tandoor Recipes is an application for managing recipes, meal planning, and shopping lists. Prior to version 2.6.12, authenticated users with API access could view and modify private recipes belonging to other users in the same workspace by directly accessing recipe steps through the API, bypassing ownership checks. An attacker with legitimate access to a workspace could silently alter or read another user's confidential recipes.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in StepViewSet and IngredientViewSet, which filter recipes only by active Space membership and apply role-level authorization checks rather than recipe-level ownership or sharing predicates. An authenticated user with read/write API scope can supply a private recipe or step identifier to api/step/ or api/step/{step_id}/ endpoints to access and modify steps belonging to other users, since Space membership is accepted without verifying recipe ownership. The attack requires network access and valid API credentials within the victim's Space.
