CWE-863  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade @actual-app/sync-server to version 26.5.0 or higher.

Overview

@actual-app/sync-server is an actual syncing server

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization through the /openid/config endpoint, which exposes sensitive OpenID Connect configuration data, including the OAuth2 client_secret, to any caller who knows the bootstrap password. The endpoint lacks authentication and rate limiting, allowing an attacker to obtain confidential credentials by brute-forcing the bootstrap password.
