CVE-2026-55880
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 · uneditedOpenReplay is a self-hosted session replay suite. In 1.27.0 and earlier, three dashboard and note mutation functions ran their SQL without the ownership predicate that their sibling read and edit functions use: notes.delete filtered only on note id and project id, while dashboards.update_widget and dashboards.remove_widget filtered only on dashboard id and widget id, allowing any authenticated member to delete another user's private session notes and remove or rewrite widgets on another user's private dashboards.
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 confidenceOpenReplay versions 1.27.0 and earlier have a broken access control vulnerability where three mutation functions (notes.delete, dashboards.update_widget, dashboards.remove_widget) lack ownership validation predicates in their SQL queries that sibling read/edit functions properly implement. This allows any authenticated user to delete other users' private session notes and modify widgets on other users' private dashboards by exploiting the missing ownership checks.

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.
-
Determine OpenReplay versionCheck the installed OpenReplay version by reviewing package.json, a version file, or the admin dashboard About sectionAffected if Version is 1.27.0 or earlier
-
Verify authentication is requiredInspect the authentication configuration or environment settings to confirm user authentication is enabled for the applicationAffected if Authentication is required (the flaw allows any authenticated user to exploit the missing checks)
-
Inspect notes.delete for ownership validationLocate the notes.delete mutation function in the codebase and examine its SQL query to determine if it includes a predicate validating that the authenticated user owns the note being deletedAffected if The function exists and its query lacks ownership validation (no WHERE clause checking user_id matches current user)
-
Inspect dashboards.update_widget for ownership validationLocate the dashboards.update_widget mutation in the codebase and examine its SQL query to determine if it validates dashboard ownership before allowing updatesAffected if The function exists and its query does not verify the dashboard belongs to the authenticated user
-
Inspect dashboards.remove_widget for ownership validationLocate the dashboards.remove_widget mutation in the codebase and examine its SQL query to determine if it validates ownership before removing widgetsAffected if The function exists and its query lacks a check confirming the dashboard is owned by the current user
If OpenReplay version is 1.27.0 or earlier, authentication is enabled, and any of the three mutation functions lack ownership validation predicates in their SQL queries, the environment is affected by this CVE.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to a version after 1.27.0 that includes proper ownership validation predicates in the affected mutation functions, or manually add project/user ownership validation to the SQL queries for notes.delete, dashboards.update_widget, and dashboards.remove_widget.
