CVE-2026-61746: InvenTree plugin settings information disclosure

CVE-2026-61746 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-09-21

InvenTree is an open-source inventory management system. Prior to version 1.4.0, its plugin settings API endpoints did not require user authentication, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve plugin names, configuration keys, descriptions, and non-secret settings values. While protected secret values remain masked, this exposes sensitive system metadata that could inform further attacks.

Technologies: InvenTree. Vendors: InvenTree.

Technical details

The PluginSettingList, PluginAllSettingList, and PluginSettingDetail API endpoints use GlobalSettingsPermissions without IsAuthenticated requirement, combined with AuthRequiredMiddleware exempting /api/ paths, allowing unauthenticated access to /api/plugin/settings/. An attacker gains disclosure of plugin metadata and configuration values (excluding masked secrets) via network-based API calls. The issue is fixed in version 1.4.0 by adding explicit permission checks.
