AI analysis

CVE-2026-82245 is a missing authorization flaw (CWE-862) in Budibase's license management API. The /api/global/license/* endpoints do not verify a caller's role, so any authenticated user with basic privileges can call them over the network without user interaction. By deleting license keys or manipulating offline tokens, such a user can disable premium features and effectively downgrade the deployment for all users of that instance (rated High, CVSS 4.0 7.2). All Budibase deployments before version 3.41.3 are affected, whether self-hosted or cloud. No public proof-of-concept, CISA KEV listing, or confirmed in-the-wild exploitation is known, and EPSS currently puts 30-day exploitation probability at just 0.3% (20th percentile).

What to do: Upgrade to Budibase 3.41.3 or later. As an interim mitigation, restrict access to /api/global/license/* to administrator-level users (e.g., via a reverse proxy or network policy) and audit current license keys and offline tokens for tampering or deletion.

Affected
Budibase (low-code application platform)all versions before 3.41.3
Estimated exposure
moderate≈1,000–10,000 deployments materially affected (a fraction of the tens of thousands of total Budibase instances; estimate) — No install counts were provided in the data; the estimate is based on Budibase's profile as a popular self-hosted open-source low-code platform, with the license endpoints only having real impact on premium-licensed deployments.

Order-of-magnitude estimate by the model from install counts, market share and public scan data it knows; verify before quoting.

Description

Budibase before 3.41.3 fails to enforce role-based authorization on license management endpoints, allowing any authenticated user to delete license keys or manipulate offline tokens. Attackers with basic user privileges can access /api/global/license/* endpoints to disable premium features and downgrade deployments for all users.
