Summary

Wheels from 4.0.0 before 4.2.0 replaces incoming scope conditions with a primary key condition in findByKey() and exists(key=). With error information disabled in production, exists(key=) returns true for an out of scope key instead of throwing. A network attacker with low privileges can load, modify or delete another user's or tenant's record when applications rely on scopes for ownership or tenant authorization and the key comes from a request.

Description from the CNA

Wheels 4.0.0 through 4.1.2 before 4.2.0 replaces incoming scope conditions with a primary-key condition in findByKey() and exists(key=). For exists(key=), production with error information disabled returns true for an out-of-scope key instead of throwing. Applications relying on scopes for ownership or tenant authorization can therefore load and subsequently modify or delete another user's or tenant's record when the key comes from a request. The 4.2.0 fix combines key conditions with incoming scope, query-builder or where conditions in findByKey(), exists(key=), updateByKey() and deleteByKey(). Other scope-aware finders, aggregates, updateAll() and deleteAll() are not affected.
