Technical details
The vulnerability is an authorization bypass in the AuthenticationHeaderResolver component, which resolves the workspace used for authorization decisions based on a caller-supplied X-Airbyte-Workspace-Id header rather than deriving it from the actual resource being accessed. The AuthorizationServerHandler extracts workspace identifiers from the JSON request body and injects them into headers, but the permission check uses the caller's nominated workspace instead of verifying that the resource actually belongs to that workspace. Endpoints can be reached with an attacker-supplied workspaceId field that bypasses the declared request schema validation. The vulnerability requires network access to the Airbyte API and can be exploited by any authenticated workspace member, allowing them to perform operations on resources in other workspaces without proper access control. No patch availability information is provided in the advisory.
