GHSA-mhc8-p3jx-84mm (CVE-2026-43948) reported that wger's reset_user_password and gym_permissions_user_edit views in wger/gym/views/user.py performed a gym-scope authorization check using Django ORM object comparison (if request.user.userprofile.gym != user.userprofile.gym) which silently passes when both sides are None (None != None evaluates to False). The maintainer's suggested patch ("Apply the same same_gym() helper pattern to all five views sharing this check") replaces every userprofile.gym != site with the new is_same_gym() helper that explicitly excludes None …
A gym trainer can escalate their session to any higher-privileged account (gym manager, general manager) by chaining two calls to the trainer-login endpoint. Once a trainer performs a legitimate switch into a low-privileged user, the session flag trainer.identity is set and this flag alone bypasses the permission check on all subsequent trainer-login calls, allowing the trainer to hop into any account including gym managers.
Any authenticated user can read another user's private workout session notes, exercise history, and training statistics by calling the /logs/ and /stats/ actions on a routine they do not own. The RoutinePermission class grants read access to any authenticated user when a routine has is_template=True, regardless of ownership. The /logs/ and /stats/ API actions use the same permission check but return the routine owner's personal training data instead of the …
Any authenticated user can create a routine spanning an arbitrarily long date range (e.g. 100 years) and then trigger the date_sequence computation via any of the routine detail endpoints. The server iterates once per day in an unbounded while loop with no maximum duration validation, causing a single HTTP request to consume multiple seconds of server CPU and return a response containing tens of thousands of entries. Repeated requests can …
The trainer_login view in wger redirects to request.GET['next'] directly via HttpResponseRedirect() without calling url_has_allowed_host_and_scheme(). After the trainer successfully enters impersonation mode, their browser is redirected to any attacker-controlled URL supplied in the ?next= parameter, enabling Referer exfiltration and phishing.
The gym member TSV export endpoint in wger writes first_name and last_name profile fields verbatim to TSV cells with no formula-prefix sanitization. Any gym member (including newly self-registered users) can pre-load a spreadsheet formula into their own profile. When a gym admin later exports the member list and opens the file in Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or Google Sheets, the formula executes in the admin's local spreadsheet context — enabling data …
The reset_user_password and gym_permissions_user_edit views in wger perform a gym-scope authorization check using Python object comparison (!=) that evaluates None != None as False, silently bypassing the guard when both the attacker and victim have no gym assignment (gym=None). A user with gym.manage_gym permission and gym=None can reset the password of any other gym=None user; the new plaintext password is returned verbatim in the HTML response body, enabling one-shot full …
The AbstractLicenseModel.attribution_link property in wger/utils/models.py constructs HTML strings by directly interpolating user-controlled fields (license_author, license_title, license_object_url, license_author_url, license_derivative_source_url) without any escaping. The resulting HTML is rendered in the ingredient view template using Django's |safe filter, which disables auto-escaping. An authenticated user can create an ingredient with a malicious license_author value containing JavaScript, which executes when any user (including unauthenticated visitors) views the ingredient page.
wger exposes a global configuration edit endpoint at /config/gym-config/edit implemented by GymConfigUpdateView. The view declares permission_required = 'config.change_gymconfig' but does not enforce it because it inherits WgerFormMixin (ownership-only checks) instead of the project’s permission-enforcing mixin (WgerPermissionMixin) . The edited object is a singleton (GymConfig(pk=1)) and the model does not implement get_owner_object(), so WgerFormMixin skips ownership enforcement. As a result, a low-privileged authenticated user can modify installation-wide configuration and trigger server-side …
Five routine detail action endpoints check a cache before calling self.get_object(). Cache keys are scoped only by pk — no user ID is included. When a victim has previously accessed their routine via the API, an attacker can retrieve the cached response for the same PK without any ownership check.
RepetitionsConfigViewSet and MaxRepetitionsConfigViewSet return all users' repetition config data because their get_queryset() calls .all() instead of filtering by the authenticated user. Any registered user can enumerate every other user's workout structure.
Three nutritional_values action endpoints fetch objects via Model.objects.get(pk=pk) — a raw ORM call that bypasses the user-scoped queryset. Any authenticated user can read another user's private nutrition plan data, including caloric intake and full macro breakdown, by supplying an arbitrary PK.
