Only sub-object data attached to otherwise-public objects is affected.\n\n## Affected Versions\n\nAll versions of Gramps Web API prior to the fix.\n\n## Root Cause\n\nThe vulnerability originates from the behaviour of `PrivateProxyDb.iter_*()` in **Gramps core**. The `ProxyDbBase.__iter_object()` helper, which backs all `iter_*()` methods in `PrivateProxyDb`, correctly filters out top-level private objects but returns the remaining objects **unsanitized** — i.e. without stripping private sub-object references. In contrast, `PrivateProxyDb.get_*_from_handle()` does call the appropriate `sanitize_*()` function.\n\nGramps Web API's `ModifiedPrivateProxyDb` (which wraps the raw database for non-admin users) inherited this behaviour without override.\n\nThe same issue affects Gramps desktop features that consume `iter_*()` output: reports and exports generated via Gramps desktop using `PrivateProxyDb` may also include private sub-object data that should have been stripped.\n\n## Conditions Required\n\n**This issue only affects trees in which sub-objects have been explicitly marked private in Gramps desktop.** The Gramps Web frontend UI does not expose controls for setting the private flag on sub-objects (alternate names, addresses, notes,\ncitations, media references, event references, etc.). In practice, such flags are set in Gramps desktop and then synced or imported into Gramps Web.\n\n## Impact\n\nWhen the conditions above are met, a user with the Guest role querying any list endpoint receives:\n\n- **Full content** of private embedded sub-objects on people, such as alternate names (first name, surname, etc.) and addresses (street, city, etc.).\n- **Handles referencing** private notes, citations, and media attached to places, events, sources, and other objects. These reveal the *existence* of private\n linked objects but not their content; fetching those objects by handle is correctly blocked by the proxy.\n\n## Fix\n\n`ModifiedPrivateProxyDb` now overrides all `iter_*()` object methods to check `obj.get_privacy()` directly on the already-loaded object (eliminating the redundant per-object refetch) and to call the appropriate `sanitize_*()` function before yielding each object. This is consistent with the behaviour of `get_*_from_handle()` in `PrivateProxyDb`.", "references": [ { "reference_url": "https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web-api", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.9", "scoring_system": "cvssv4", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web-api" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web-api/releases/tag/v3.11.0", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "6.9", "scoring_system": "cvssv4", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web-api/releases/tag/v3.11.0" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web-api/security/advisories/GHSA-9gjv-jvm7-vv2v", "reference_id": "", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1_qr", "scoring_elements": "" }, { "value": "6.9", "scoring_system": "cvssv4", "scoring_elements": "CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N" }, { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web-api/security/advisories/GHSA-9gjv-jvm7-vv2v" }, { "reference_url": "https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-9gjv-jvm7-vv2v", "reference_id": "GHSA-9gjv-jvm7-vv2v", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "MODERATE", "scoring_system": "cvssv3.1_qr", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-9gjv-jvm7-vv2v" } ], "fixed_packages": [ { "url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/api/packages/111573?format=api", "purl": "pkg:pypi/gramps-webapi@3.11.0", "is_vulnerable": true, "affected_by_vulnerabilities": [ { "vulnerability": "VCID-fp8j-w9xm-skda" } ], "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/packages/pkg:pypi/gramps-webapi@3.11.0" } ], "aliases": [ "GHSA-9gjv-jvm7-vv2v" ], "risk_score": 3.1, "exploitability": "0.5", "weighted_severity": "6.2", "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/vulnerabilities/VCID-jhbq-9x4b-p3cr" } ], "fixing_vulnerabilities": [], "risk_score": "3.1", "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/packages/pkg:pypi/gramps-webapi@1.1.9" }
