CVE-2026-111614 in DataCap
Summary
by MITRE • 10/16/2026
DataCap through 2025.1.1 contains an insecure direct object reference vulnerability in BaseController.getInfoForPath that allows authenticated users to read other users' datasources, snippets and dashboards by numeric id. Low-privileged attackers can enumerate auto-increment ids on the source, snippet and dashboard endpoints to retrieve serialized datasource host, port, username and cleartext passwords.

The vulnerability identified in DataCap versions through 2025.1.1 represents a critical failure in access control mechanisms, specifically classified as an Insecure Direct Object Reference or IDOR under the CWE-639 standard. This flaw resides within the BaseController.getInfoForPath function, which is responsible for retrieving data assets such as datasources, snippets, and dashboards based on provided identifiers. The core technical deficiency lies in the application's reliance solely on numeric identifiers to locate resources without implementing adequate authorization checks that verify whether the requesting authenticated user has permission to access the specific object identified by that ID. Consequently, the system fails to enforce proper ownership validation or role-based access controls before returning sensitive data associated with a given resource identifier.
From an operational perspective, this vulnerability allows any authenticated user, including those with low-privilege accounts, to enumerate and retrieve information belonging to other users within the same DataCap instance. Because the identifiers are auto-incrementing numeric values, attackers can easily perform sequential enumeration attacks against the source, snippet, and dashboard endpoints. By iterating through a range of integer IDs, an attacker can systematically discover valid resource identifiers that belong to colleagues or administrators, bypassing any intended isolation between user accounts. This lack of object-level authorization transforms what should be private data into publicly accessible information for anyone with valid login credentials, regardless of their role or clearance level within the organization.
The impact of this vulnerability is severe due to the nature of the data exposed during these enumeration attacks. The serialized responses contain critical connection details for datasources, including host addresses and port numbers, which provide attackers with a map of the internal network infrastructure. More critically, the exposure includes usernames and cleartext passwords associated with these datasource connections. This leakage effectively grants an attacker direct access to backend databases or external services linked to DataCap, potentially leading to further compromise of downstream systems. The presence of plaintext credentials significantly escalates the risk profile, as it eliminates the need for credential cracking attacks and allows immediate exploitation of connected data stores using the stolen authentication material.
This attack vector aligns with several techniques documented in the MITRE ATT&CK framework, particularly T1078 Valid Accounts, which describes how attackers use legitimate credentials to gain access, and T1539 Steal Web Session Cookie or T1552 Unsecured Credentials if session tokens are also compromised through similar flaws. The enumeration aspect corresponds to T1614 System Location Discovery via network configuration data. To mitigate this vulnerability, immediate patching to version 2025.1.2 or later is required as it addresses the underlying authorization logic in BaseController.getInfoForPath. In addition to applying vendor patches, organizations should implement strict server-side access control checks that validate user permissions against every requested resource ID before returning data. Furthermore, rotating all exposed datasource credentials immediately and reviewing audit logs for signs of enumeration activity are essential remediation steps to contain potential damage from the cleartext password exposure.
