CVE-2026-61746: InvenTree: Plugin-settings GET endpoints are readable without authentication
InvenTree is an Open Source Inventory Management System. Prior to 1.4.0, PluginSettingList, PluginAllSettingList, and PluginSettingDetail set GlobalSettingsPermissions without the IsAuthenticated permission used by the project default and equivalent global-settings endpoints. GlobalSettingsPermissions returns true for safe methods, while AuthRequiredMiddleware exempts /api/ paths, so an unauthenticated caller can retrieve plugin names, setting keys, descriptions, types, choices, and non-protected configuration values through /api/plugin/settings/ and the per-plugin settings endpoints. Protected secret values remain masked as three asterisks, limiting the issue to metadata and non-secret configuration disclosure. This issue is fixed in version 1.4.0.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Which deployments are exposed to unauthenticated access?
InvenTree versions prior to 1.4.0 are affected. The exposure applies to the plugin-settings API endpoints because /api/ paths are exempted by AuthRequiredMiddleware and the relevant permission class permits safe methods.
What can an unauthenticated caller retrieve?
An unauthenticated caller can retrieve plugin names, setting keys, descriptions, types, choices, and non-protected configuration values through /api/plugin/settings/ and per-plugin settings endpoints. Protected secret values are masked as three asterisks.
Does exploitation require an account or user interaction?
No. The affected endpoints can be queried without authentication, and the issue is exposed through GET requests.
What is the available fix?
Upgrade InvenTree to version 1.4.0, which fixes the issue.
