SCA: security update for @budibase/worker (GHSA-c54j-xp92-wh28)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442053

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to 3.38.1, the POST /api/global/users/onboard endpoint
 is protected by workspaceBuilderOrAdmin middleware, allowing any user with builder permissions to access
 it. When SMTP email is not configured (the default for self-hosted Budibase instances), this endpoint
 bypasses the admin-restricted invite flow and directly creates users via bulkCreate, accepting arbitrary
 admin and builder role assignments from the request body. A builder-level user can create a new global
 admin account and receive the generated password in the response, achieving full privilege escalation.
 This vulnerability is fixed in 3.38.1. (CVE-2026-45716)

Solution

Update the @budibase/worker library and its related packages to version 3.38.1 or later.
