CVE-2026-91788
CVE-2026-91788 is a medium severity vulnerability in a web application that allows an attacker to retrieve full document objects via the app
Overview
CVE-2026-91788 is a medium severity vulnerability in a web application that allows an attacker to retrieve full document objects via the app.activeDocs JavaScript API due to missing attribute authorization checks. The flaw can lead to unintended disclosure of sensitive information from open documents. It affects the application’s client-side code that processes JavaScript actions.
Description
Addressed a potential issue where the application could be exposed to an Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere vulnerability when handling certain JavaScript actions, which attackers could exploit to disclose information. This occurs as the application fails to perform proper attribute authorization checks when implementing the “app.activeDocs” JavaScript API and allows it to return full Doc objects for every open document within the same process.
Impact
Confidentiality: potential disclosure of document contents. Integrity: not directly affected. Availability: not impacted. Defenders: application developers and security teams must ensure proper authorization checks for JavaScript APIs.
Remediation
Apply the vendor’s patch that adds proper attribute authorization checks to the app.activeDocs API. If a patch is unavailable, restrict or disable the app.activeDocs API for untrusted users, enforce role‑based access control, and validate attributes before returning document objects. Monitor logs for unauthorized API usage.
Risk context
Medium severity CVSS score of 4.3 indicates moderate risk; defenders should prioritize patching or mitigation to prevent potential data disclosure.
