Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-863.
Summary
ToolJet from 3.20.2-lts before 3.20.242-lts contains an authorization bypass in SignupDisableGuard, which treats the string signup setting 'false' as truthy, so instance-level signup restrictions are not enforced. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send POST requests to /api/signup without an organizationId to create an account, join the default workspace and receive a valid session. The flaw is classified as CWE-863.
