Advisories for Npm/@Actual-App/Sync-Server package

Any authenticated user (including BASIC role) can escalate to ADMIN on servers migrated from password authentication to OpenID Connect. Three weaknesses combine: POST /account/change-password has no authorization check, allowing any session to overwrite the password hash; the inactive password auth row is never removed on migration; and the login endpoint accepts a client-supplied loginMethod that bypasses the server's active auth configuration. Together these allow an attacker to set a known …

Actual Sync Server allows authenticated users to upload files through POST /sync/upload-user-file. In versions prior to 26.3.0, improper validation of the user-controlled x-actual-file-id header means that traversal segments (../) can escape the intended directory and write files outside userFiles.
