Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in TandoorRecipes Tandoor Recipes up to 2.6.9. Affected is the function order_by of the file /api/recipe of the component Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument sort_order/order_field with an unknown input leads to a weak password hash vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-916. The product generates a hash for a password, but it uses a scheme that does not provide a sufficient level of computational effort that would make password cracking attacks infeasible or expensive. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Tandoor Recipes is an application for managing recipes, planning meals, and building shopping lists. Prior to 2.6.10, passes unvalidated sort_order and order_field strings into Django ORM order_by() calls when an authenticated user supplies foreign-key traversal paths in recipe search, RecipeBook, or stored CustomFilter ordering values. Request processing uses _finalize_ordering and order_by through 8080/api/recipe/ and 8080/api/recipe-book/. The attack works because Django interprets double-underscore ordering fields as related-table traversal, and observable result ordering leaks values from related User fields. This can infer password hashes, email addresses, administrator status, and other related database values. This issue is fixed in version 2.6.10.

The advisory is shared for download at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-59962 since 07/07/2026. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1552.

Upgrading to version 2.6.10 eliminates this vulnerability.
