Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows an authenticated user to modify or delete roles belonging to other organizations without proper authorization checks, leading to unauthorized access and privilege escalation across organizations.

Such unauthorized access and privilege escalation can result in improper handling or exposure of sensitive data, which may violate compliance requirements under standards like GDPR and HIPAA that mandate strict access controls and data protection.

Therefore, this vulnerability could negatively impact compliance with these regulations by enabling unauthorized data access and modification through compromised role permissions.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-54322 is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in Daytona's organization role update and delete endpoints. It allowed any authenticated user who owned an organization to modify or delete roles belonging to other organizations by using role identifiers without proper authorization checks.

This happened because the system authorized the caller as an owner of the organization named in the request path but resolved and mutated the target role only by its identifier, without verifying that the role actually belonged to that organization.

The vulnerability affected multi-tenant deployments and was fixed in version 0.185.0 by scoping role operations to the caller's organization.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to privilege escalation, privilege stripping, or role deletion in victim organizations within a multi-tenant Daytona deployment.

An attacker who owns any organization could modify permissions or delete roles in other organizations, potentially disrupting access controls and security policies.

Exploitation requires knowledge of the target role's identifier, which is not exposed to non-members, and the attacker must be authenticated with ownership of at least one organization.

Detection Guidance

Detection of this vulnerability involves verifying whether unauthorized role update or delete requests are being made across organizations by authenticated users. Since exploitation requires knowledge of role identifiers, monitoring API calls to the organization role update and delete endpoints for suspicious cross-organization access attempts is recommended.

Specific commands are not provided in the available resources, but network or application logs should be inspected for API requests to endpoints related to organization role updates or deletions where the authenticated user does not belong to the target organization.

Mitigation Strategies

The immediate mitigation step is to upgrade Daytona to version 0.185.0 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by scoping role operations to the caller's organization.

Until the upgrade can be performed, restrict access to the organization role update and delete endpoints to trusted users only, and monitor for any unauthorized role modification or deletion attempts.
