CVE-2026-44678
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedTuist is a virtual platform team for Swift app devs. In 1.180.8 and earlier, the DELETE /api/projects/{account_handle}/{project_handle}/previews/{preview_id} endpoint loads the preview by its UUID without verifying that the preview belongs to the project resolved from the URL path. The route's project-level authorization plug (AuthorizationPlug, :preview) authorizes the caller against the project encoded in account_handle/project_handle — which the attacker controls — and then the action deletes whichever preview's UUID is supplied. The check therefore guards the wrong project.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe DELETE endpoint for previews authorizes the caller against the project specified in the URL path (account_handle/project_handle), but then loads the preview solely by its UUID without verifying that the preview actually belongs to that project. An attacker can delete any preview in the system by providing its UUID while being authorized against a different project they control.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the product and versionLocate the application software and determine its installed version through package manifests, binary metadata, or the application's version endpoint if availableAffected if The installed version matches any vulnerable release of the software that contains the preview DELETE endpoint
-
Locate the preview deletion endpoint handlerSearch the codebase for the DELETE route handler that processes requests to /previews/{preview_uuid} or similar path patterns for preview deletionAffected if The endpoint exists and processes DELETE requests for previews by UUID
-
Examine authorization logic in the delete handlerReview the delete handler code to identify where project authorization occurs and whether preview.project_id is validated against the URL-path-resolved project before deletionAffected if The code performs project authorization but does NOT validate that preview.project_id matches the project from the URL path before executing the delete
-
Verify UUID-based preview loading without ownership checkCheck if the preview is loaded solely by UUID parameter and the delete proceeds without cross-referencing the preview's owning project with the authorized project from the requestAffected if The preview is loaded and deleted using only its UUID without verifying project ownership
-
Test for IDOR vulnerabilityIf possible, issue a DELETE request for a preview UUID from a project you are authorized to access, but reference a preview UUID that belongs to a different projectAffected if The delete operation succeeds for a preview that belongs to a different project than the one authorized in the URL path
The environment is affected if the preview deletion endpoint exists and performs authorization against the URL project but fails to verify that the preview's project_id matches that authorized project before deletion.

From vendor dataAdd a check verifying that the preview's project_id matches the project resolved from the URL path before performing the delete operation.
