CVE-2026-59805
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 · uneditedGumroad before 2026.07.06.2 contains a broken access control vulnerability in the PurchasesController that allows authenticated sellers to manipulate purchase access for other sellers' products by sending PUT requests to the revoke_access and undo_revoke_access actions without seller ownership validation. Attackers can modify the is_access_revoked status on arbitrary purchases to unauthorized revoke or restore buyer access to products they do not own.
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 analysisThe application checks who you are but not whether you're allowed to perform a given action, so any authenticated user can reach things meant for others. This is the classic “change the ID in the URL” bug. The fix is an authorization check on every request, evaluated against the acting user's permissions.

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.
dbcve · scoped2026.07.06.2 or later
- Check the current deployed version of Gumroad
- Upgrade Gumroad to version 2026.07.06.2 or later to include the authorization fix in commit e7fd0e610e73135ecf1aa07c197a36fa524832e1
- After upgrade, verify that PurchasesController#revoke_access and PurchasesController#undo_revoke_access actions properly validate seller ownership before allowing access modifications
