CVE-2026-49258
Published:July 01, 2026
Updated:July 01, 2026
Summary The web UI ("/ui/*") does not apply the per-operator CA scoping the JSON API received for GHSA-598g-h2vc-h5vg. Any authenticated non-admin operator (for example, one created via self-registration or OIDC) can access resources belonging to other operators. Impact A non-admin operator can: - Block or delete any other operator's host. "POST /ui/hosts/{id}/block" and "DELETE /ui/hosts/{id}" act on the URL "id" with no ownership check, so a non-admin can block (revoking the host's certificate via the blocklist) or delete any host in the deployment — a cross-operator denial of service. - Read every operator's hosts and networks. The dashboard, "/ui/hosts", the host detail page, "/ui/networks" (including the create-form error re-render), and the "/ui/events" stream all return data across all operators, exposing host names, Nebula IPs, public IPs, certificate fingerprints and expiry, and network names and CIDRs. This is the same cross-operator class as GHSA-598g; that remediation covered the JSON API but not the web read/mutation surface. The host create/edit/mobile-bundle/network-create paths and all CA-management routes were already correctly scoped. Affected handlers ("internal/web"): "handleHostDetail", "handleHostBlock", "handleHostDelete", "handleDashboard", "handlePartialStats", "handleHosts", "handleNetworks", "renderNetworksError", "handleHostEvents". Conditions Exposure requires at least one non-admin operator to exist (self-registration enabled, OIDC, or an admin-created user). A single-admin deployment with no additional operators is not affected. Fix A complete candidate fix with regression tests is ready in a private repository shared with the maintainer ("ak2k/nebula-mesh-ghsa-web", PR #1): scope these handlers to the session operator's owned CAs (admins keep the full view), mirroring the API's ownership checks.
