Title
Convoy: Cross-Tenant Source IDOR Leaks Plaintext Message Broker Credentials
Summary
Convoy is a cloud native webhooks gateway. Prior to 26.6.8, Convoy's GET /api/v1/projects/{projectID}/sources/{sourceID} endpoint authorizes access to the project in the URL, but Handler.GetSource calls sources.Service.FindSourceByID() and fetches the Source only by sourceID without confirming that its ProjectID matches the authorized project. An authenticated user or project-scoped API key holder can substitute another tenant's Source identifier and receive that Source's complete record, including unredacted AMQP, Kafka, SQS, or Google PubSub credentials. The list endpoint remains project-scoped; the single-item Source lookup is affected. This issue is fixed in version 26.6.8.

Summary
Convoy: Cross-Tenant Source IDOR Leaks Plaintext Message Broker Credentials
Details
Summary
frain-dev/convoy (all versions up to and including v26.6.2, no patch available) lets any authenticated caller who is authorized on at least one project read ANY OTHER project's "Source" record by ID via GET /api/v1/projects/{projectID}/sources/{sourceID} -- regardless of whether that Source actually belongs to the project named in the URL. The response includes the Source's full PubSub broker configuration in plaintext (AMQP/Kafka/SQS/Google credentials), with no redaction.
Details
Handler.GetSource (api/handlers/source.go) resolves the caller's
authorization against the {projectID} in the URL via retrieveProject(), then
calls sources.Service.FindSourceByID(ctx, project.UID, sourceID)
(internal/sources/impl.go). That function accepts a projectID parameter but
never uses it:
func (s *Service) FindSourceByID(ctx context.Context, projectID, id string) (*datastore.Source, error) {
row, err := s.repo.FetchSourceByID(ctx, common.StringToPgText(id))
...
}
The underlying SQL query (internal/sources/repo/queries.sql,
fetchSourceByID) has no project_id predicate at all:
SELECT ... FROM convoy.sources AS s
LEFT JOIN convoy.source_verifiers sv ON s.source_verifier_id = sv.id
WHERE s.id = $1 AND s.deleted_at IS NULL
So the {projectID} in the URL only gates "is the caller authorized to view
a project" -- it never re-validates that the fetched Source actually
belongs to that project. LoadSourcesPaged (the list endpoint) does
correctly scope by project; only the single-item GetSource lookup is
affected. SourceResponse{*datastore.Source} embeds the full database
record with no redaction, so if the leaked Source is an AMQP/Kafka type, its
pub_sub.*.auth.password field (a live, plaintext broker credential) is
returned verbatim.
Proof of Concept
- As a test account, create "Victim Project" and an AMQP Source in it with a known broker password (verified against a real RabbitMQ broker, not just stored -- Convoy performs a live connectivity check before persisting an AMQP source).
- As the same or a different authenticated caller, create a completely separate "Attacker Project".
- Call GET /api/v1/projects/{attacker_project_id}/sources/{victim_source_id} -- i.e. a request whose URL and authorization check only ever resolve the Attacker project.
- Verified in a Docker lab (convoy v26.6.2): the request returns 200 with
the Victim project's full Source object, including
pub_sub.amqp.auth.password matching the secret set in step 1 exactly.
The response's own
project_idfield is the Victim project's id, never the Attacker project id used in the URL/authorization check. - Negative control: an otherwise-identical request for a made-up source id under the same Attacker project returns 404, confirming this is a real, ID-specific hit and not a blanket-200 endpoint.
(Community Edition license-gates org_limit=1/user_limit=1, so this PoC used one account with two projects rather than two separate companies -- the vulnerable query performs no project-ownership check regardless of license tier, so a licensed multi-org deployment has the identical exposure between genuinely different tenants.)
Impact
Any authenticated user or project-scoped API key holder who has legitimate access to at least one project on a Convoy instance can read any other project's Source configuration by ID, including plaintext third-party message-broker credentials (AMQP/Kafka/SQS/Google PubSub). In a multi-tenant deployment this is a direct cross-customer credential leak.
Fix
Add a project_id predicate to the fetchSourceByID query (and audit other
single-item repository lookups reachable via a {projectID} route for the
same pattern), or re-check source.ProjectID == project.UID in the handler
before returning the record.
