CVE-2026-45330

Decidim is a participatory democracy framework. Prior to 0.30.9, from 0.31.0 before 0.31.5, and in 0.32.0.rc1 before 0.32.0.rc2, the identity-document verification admin controllers load pending Authorization records by raw identifier without confirming current_organization ownership, allowing an administrator from one tenant to view, approve, or reject another tenant’s ID-document request. This issue is fixed in versions 0.30.9, 0.31.5, and 0.32.0.rc2.

This issue is fixed in versions 0.30.9, 0.31.5, and 0.32.0.rc2.

Description

The verification admin mutation flow allows accessing, verifying, and rejecting participants records from another tenant.

Technical description

The verification admin controllers loads pending_authorization_id with a raw Authorization.find(...) and then authorizes the record without checking whether it belongs to current_organization.

Reproduction steps:

1. An org2 participant uploads their ID:

<img width="2184" height="1288" alt="decidim-verification-01" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c6713454-c787-4795-b852-3c2c672358d6" />

2. An admin from another organisation, in this case org1, is able to open the ID from org2 by opening request 35, e.g http://localhost:3001/admin/id_documents/pending_authorizations/35/confirmations/new

<img width="1539" height="1037" alt="decidim-verification-02" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6ed646de-a501-4964-8467-013ada55ce2d" />

3. The admin then approves this request by looking up the ID in the picture (not shown in this image, but a real ID would expose this)

4. Now the request has been approved, which can be seen from the org2 participant authorizations page:

Impact
