InvenTree is an open-source inventory management system used to track parts, stock, and orders.

Technical details

The POST /api/barcode/ endpoint uses insufficient permission checks (IsAuthenticatedOrReadScope) and the barcode plugin's format_matched_response() method returns complete model serializer output without validating the caller's per-model view permissions. An authenticated attacker can enumerate primary keys across multiple object types (parts, stock, locations, suppliers, manufacturers, orders, builds) to retrieve sensitive data. The vulnerability was patched in version 1.4.0 by adding per-model permission validation to barcode scan operations.
