CVE-2026-85638 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.3 · Published 2026-09-04

Trape is an open-source OSINT tool used to track individuals and analyze their online activity. The application suffers from an authorization bypass flaw that allows an attacker to modify or corrupt telemetry data (location, online status, network information) belonging to any tracked victim without authentication. An attacker can enumerate real victim identifiers and then inject false or corrupted data into their tracked sessions, compromising the integrity of all collected intelligence.

## Technical details

The vulnerability is an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) in multiple victim-telemetry endpoints within core/user.py. These endpoints—including /cIp, /tping, /lr, /lc, /bs, /nm, /regv, /gGpu, and /nr—accept a victim identifier (vId or id) directly from the POST request body and write to the database without verifying that the caller owns that identifier. No server-issued session token binds a client to a specific victim ID; the identifier is fully attacker-controlled. An unauthenticated network attacker can enumerate valid victim identifiers (via /get_data) and forge writes to corrupt location data, spoof online status, inject fake captured-form records, or modify recorded network information. Patches or mitigations are not yet available; the maintainers have not responded to the issue report.
