What happened

identrail is a machine identity security platform for AWS, GitHub/OIDC, and Kubernetes. Prior to 1.0.2, the default-on POST /v1/workspaces/:workspace_id/projects/:project_id/github/connect/complete endpoint in internal/api/router.go accepts installation_id from the request body or X-GitHub-Installation-ID header without verifying the installation belongs to the caller's workspace.

CompleteGitHubConnection in internal/api/github_connect.go rigorously binds state to the caller's tenant, workspace, and project, but checks only that the installation ID is positive before persisting it as the caller's connection. ListInstallationRepositories in internal/connectors/github/repositories.go invokes token creation through internal/connectors/github/app.

go and POST /app/installations/{installationId}/access_tokens, using the application's JWT. An authenticated tenant who starts a legitimate connection can supply another customer's non-secret installation ID to read the victim organization's private repository inventory, content, and metadata or drive posture scans, provided identrail's GitHub App is installed there.

The default-off V2 CompleteGitHubConnector path shares the installation-ownership gap and additionally matches pending state without rechecking caller scope. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.2.

About this data

This record was ingested from a data source. Retrieved: Oct 28, 2026, 15:30 UTC. Ingestion is not an independent editorial investigation.

NVD status: Deferred. Publication in the NVD is not evidence of exploitation.

A CISA KEV listing documents known exploitation, not necessarily a zero-day; absence from the catalog does not prove a vulnerability has never been exploited.

Technology tags indicate possible relevance, not verified exposure. Confirm the affected product, version, and configuration against your own inventory; KEVWire does not scan your systems.

A personal reading checklist on this device, not verified remediation.
