io.openremote:openremote-manager: Rejected: This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority as it's a duplicate of CVE-2026-56784.

Summary

OpenRemote Manager is vulnerable to a cross-tenant Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in the bulk alarm deletion endpoint. An authenticated user in any realm can delete alarms belonging to other realms (tenants) by supplying arbitrary alarm IDs. The vulnerability exists because the bulk removeAlarms() method only verifies that the caller's own realm is active and accessible, but never checks whether the targeted alarm IDs belong to the caller's realm before deleting them.

This allows any user with alarm write permissions in their own realm to permanently destroy alarm records — including safety-critical and security alerts — belonging to any other tenant on the same OpenRemote installation.

------------------------------------------

[Additional Information] The singular removeAlarm() method correctly validates that the target alarm's realm matches the caller's access:

// CORRECT (singular): SentAlarm alarm = alarmService.getAlarm(alarmId); if (!isRealmActiveAndAccessible(alarm.getRealm())) { throw new ForbiddenException(...); }

The plural removeAlarms() method is missing this per-alarm realm check and only validates the caller's own realm — a check that is trivially satisfied for any authenticated user:

 // VULNERABLE (plural):
public void removeAlarms(RequestParams requestParams, List<Long> alarmIds) {
    if (!isRealmActiveAndAccessible(getAuthenticatedRealmName())) {  
        throw new ForbiddenException(...);  // always passes for any auth user
    }
    List<SentAlarm> alarms = alarmService.getAlarms(alarmIds);  // no realm filter
    alarmService.removeAlarms(alarms, alarmIds);                // no realm filter
}

The underlying service queries contain no realm scoping:

 // AlarmService.getAlarms(List<Long>):
    "select sa from SentAlarm sa where sa.id in :ids"
    // no realm filter

    // AlarmService.removeAlarms():
    "delete from SentAlarm sa where sa.id in :ids"
    // no realm filter

Alarm IDs are sequential auto-increment Long values (JPA @GeneratedValue), making them trivially enumerable.

[Attack Type] Remote (authenticated)

------------------------------------------

[CVE Impact Other] Cross-tenant permanent destruction of alarm records, including safety-critical and security alerts in IoT environments. Also enables cross-tenant alarm enumeration (presence disclosure of alarm IDs across all tenants).

------------------------------------------

[Attack Vectors]

1. Attacker registers or obtains any low-privilege account in any realm

on the target OpenRemote installation (or uses an existing account).

1. Attacker enumerates alarm IDs belonging to other realms by sending

bulk delete requests with sequential IDs (presence confirmed by 404 vs 200 response codes).

1. Attacker issues a single bulk delete request containing IDs of

alarms belonging to victim realm(s).

1. Alarms are permanently deleted with no authorization error.

PoC:

Tenant A (attacker) : realm = "tenant-a"
                      user  = attacker@tenant-a.com
                      role  = WRITE_ALARMS_ROLE

Tenant B (victim)   : realm = "tenant-b"
                      alarms with IDs 1174,1173, 1180 exist
