Summary

A link-share token, the credential you hand out to let someone view a shared project, can call the v2 user-search endpoints, which it was never meant to reach. The v1 versions of the same endpoints correctly reject link-share tokens; the v2 versions don't. As a result, anyone with a share link can list every member of the shared project (and its parent projects), and can test whether any username exists anywhere on the instance.

Details

Two endpoints are affected:

GET /api/v2/projects/{id}/users/search only checks project.CanRead, which a link share satisfies on its own project. With no parameter it returns the full user list, walking up the parent-project chain. GET /api/v2/users?q=<name> is a global search. It needs a query term, but any term works as an existence oracle: a hit confirms the username exists somewhere on the instance and returns the display name.

Emails are correctly stripped from these responses, so the exposure is limited to identities (usernames and display names), but that's still an instance-wide directory that a share-link holder should never see.

The fix is to resolve the caller with GetFromAuth in both handlers, so link-share tokens are rejected the same way v1 already rejects them.

PoC

1. Get a link-share token. With any account that owns a project, create a read-only link share and note the hash, then exchange it:

POST /api/v1/shares/<hash>/auth
{"password":""}

The response contains a token, a link-share JWT.

1. Confirm v1 blocks it (the fixed behavior). With that token:

GET /api/v1/projects/<id>/projectusers
Authorization: Bearer <link_share_token>

→ rejected: the token isn't a user token.

1. Now the vulnerable v2 endpoints, same token:

GET /api/v2/projects/<id>/users/search
Authorization: Bearer <link_share_token>

→ 200, full list of everyone with access to the project and its parents (id, username, name).

GET /api/v2/users?q=admin
Authorization: Bearer <link_share_token>

→ 200, a non-empty result confirms the username exists on the instance. Iterate q over a wordlist to enumerate accounts.

Impact

Information disclosure. A link share is a low-trust credential meant to expose one project's contents; here it also exposes the membership of that project's parents and lets the holder probe for any username across the whole instance. Since share links are often forwarded or semi-public, this hands an untrusted recipient a map of internal users and a username-validation oracle useful for phishing and credential stuffing. No account is required beyond possessing a share link. Emails are not exposed.
