Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2026-07-13 15:19 - Updated: 2026-07-13 16:06

Details

Impact

The ajax_lookup endpoint in application.py bypasses the is_accessible() access control check that all other endpoints enforce.

If a developer restricts model access by overriding is_accessible(), an authenticated user can still query that model's data through the ajax_lookup endpoint — silently bypassing the restriction.

Affected endpoint:

GET /{identity}/ajax/lookup?name=<field>&term=<query>

All other endpoints enforce both checks:

Endpoint	`@login_required`	`is_accessible()`
`list`	✓	✓
`create`	✓	✓
`edit`	✓	✓
`delete`	✓	✓
`details`	✓	✓
`export`	✓	✓
`ajax_lookup` (before fix)	✗	✗
`ajax_lookup` (after fix)	✓	✓

Note: before this fix, ajax_lookup also lacked the @login_required decorator — unauthenticated users could query it directly. That was addressed in #1035. This report covers the remaining gap: authenticated but unauthorized users.

Patches

Two changes were made to ajax_lookup:

Replaced the hand-rolled authentication check added in #1035 with the standard @login_required decorator used by all other endpoints.
Added the missing is_accessible(request) check, raising HTTP 403 when it returns False.

Workarounds

None. Developers relying on is_accessible() to restrict model visibility are exposed regardless of what other access controls are in place.

CVE-2026-46645 (GCVE-0-2026-46645)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-06-10 22:23 – Updated: 2026-06-11 16:14

Title

SQLAdmin: Authorization Bypass on `ajax_lookup`

Summary

SQLAdmin is a flexible Admin interface for SQLAlchemy models. Prior to version 0.25.1, the ajax_lookup endpoint in application.py bypasses the is_accessible() access control check that all other endpoints enforce. If a developer restricts model access by overriding is_accessible(), an authenticated user can still query that model's data through the ajax_lookup endpoint — silently bypassing the restriction. This issue has been patched in version 0.25.1.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
