IDOR in Hoppscotch GraphQL Allows Unauthorized Collection Access

Publication date: 2026-02-26

Last updated on: 2026-02-27

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
hoppscotch is an open source API development ecosystem. Prior to version 2026.2.0, the `userCollection` GraphQL query accepts an arbitrary collection ID and returns the full collection data β€” including title, type, and the serialized `data` field containing HTTP requests with headers and potentially secrets β€” to any authenticated user, without verifying that the requesting user owns the collection. This is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) caused by a missing authorization check that exists on every other operation in the same resolver. Version 2026.2.0 fixes the issue.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in the hoppscotch API development ecosystem prior to version 2026.2.0. Specifically, the `userCollection` GraphQL query accepts any collection ID and returns the full collection dataβ€”including sensitive information like HTTP request headers and potentially secretsβ€”to any authenticated user without verifying ownership of the collection. This missing authorization check allows users to access collections they do not own.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, upgrade hoppscotch to version 2026.2.0 or later, as this version fixes the issue by adding the missing authorization check.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data. Since the `userCollection` query returns full collection data including HTTP request headers and potentially secrets, an attacker or unauthorized user with valid authentication could access confidential information belonging to other users. This could compromise security by exposing API keys, tokens, or other sensitive request data.
