Summary

OpenPanel from 0 before 3.0.0 is affected. Its onboarding.project tRPC mutation lacks an authorization check, so non-admin organization members bypass the admin-only policy (CWE-269). A member with a session can call it repeatedly to create projects and get plaintext write-type ingestion credentials. Attackers can then inject fake analytics events, poison business metrics and consume the organization's usage budget.
