SCA: security update for openwisp-controller (GHSA-9gh4-xw24-9xh5)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478101

Description

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

- OpenWISP Controller is a network and WiFi controller for provisioning, configuration management, updates,
and PKI management. From 1.0.0 until 1.3.2, the GET /api/v1/controller/ca/<integer-id>/crl endpoint allows
an authenticated organization manager with CA view permission to retrieve another organization's
certificate revocation list by requesting its sequential CA identifier. CrlDownloadView.retrieve resolves
the CA directly instead of using the organization-scoped object retrieval enforced by
FilterByOrganizationManaged, bypassing the endpoint's intended authorization boundary. The response can
disclose CA issuer information and revoked certificate serial numbers, but it does not expose CA private
keys or allow modification. This issue is fixed in version 1.3.2. (CVE-2026-116677)

Solution

Update the openwisp-controller library and its related packages to version 1.3.2 or later.
