CVE-2026-40196

Description

HomeBox is a home inventory and organization system. Versions prior to 0.25.0 contain a vulnerability where the defaultGroup ID remained permanently assigned to a user after being invited to a group, even after their access to that group was revoked. While the web interface correctly enforced the access revocation and prevented the user from viewing or modifying the groups contents, the API did not. Because the original group ID persisted as the users defaultGroup, and this value was not properly validated when the X-Tenant header was omitted, the user could still perform full CRUD operations on the groups collections through the API, bypassing the intended access controls. This issue has been fixed in version 0.25.0.
