CVE-2026-28506

4.3 · MEDIUM
Published Mar 17, 2026 getoutline CWE-200

Overview

CVE-2026-28506 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting getoutline outline. It was published on March 17, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

Outline is a service that allows for collaborative documentation. Prior to 1.5.0, the events.list API endpoint, used for retrieving activity logs, contains a logic flaw in its filtering mechanism. It allows any authenticated user to retrieve activity events associated with documents that have no collection (e.g., Private Drafts, Deleted Documents), regardless of the user's actual permissions on those documents. While the document content is not directly exposed, this vulnerability leaks sensitive metadata (such as Document IDs, user activity timestamps, and in some specific cases like the Document Title of Permanent Delete). Crucially, leaking valid Document IDs of deleted drafts removes the protection of UUID randomness, making High-severity IDOR attacks (such as the one identified in documents.restore) trivially exploitable by lowering the attack complexity. Version 1.5.0 fixes the issue.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from getoutline. Update outline to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
