SCA: security update for @budibase/backend-core (GHSA-6vp2-6r7m-2jvx)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442140

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 3.38.2, the public API role unassignment endpoint
(POST /api/public/v1/roles/unassign) updates user documents in CouchDB but does not invalidate the
corresponding Redis user cache entries. Because the authentication middleware resolves user identity and
permissions from this cache (TTL: 3600 seconds), a user whose admin, builder, or app-level roles have been
revoked via the public API retains those privileges for up to 1 hour. This vulnerability is fixed in
3.38.2. (CVE-2026-46424)

Solution

Update the @budibase/backend-core library and its related packages to version 3.38.2 or later.
