SCA: security update for @budibase/server (GHSA-6xp4-cf37-ppjh)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443113

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 3.39.0, /api/public/v1/roles/assign is guarded by
the builderOrAdmin middleware, which passes any user who is a builder for the app id in the x-budibase-
app-id header. That check admits both global builders and workspace-scoped builders (builder.apps set but
builder.global unset). The controller then spreads the request body into the SDK call, and the SDK grants
builder.global=true or admin.global=true on whichever user ids the caller supplies. Bob, a workspace-
scoped builder with an API key, promotes himself or any other user to global admin with one POST. The
whole flow is tenant-wide privilege escalation from an app-level role, available to anyone with an
Enterprise license that unlocks the EXPANDED_PUBLIC_API feature. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.39.0.
(CVE-2026-48150)

Solution

Update the @budibase/server library and its related packages to version 3.39.0 or later.
