CVE-2026-10706: Adalo Information Disclosure Vulnerability

CVE-2026-10706 Overview

CVE-2026-10706 affects Adalo's no-code app builder platform, versions 1 and 2. The vulnerability allows attackers to extract full user records and correlate user behavior across multiple applications through dbId enumeration. The platform does not implement data minimization, privacy by design, or appropriate technical safeguards. This design gap exposes sensitive user information to unauthorized parties.

The issue stems from insecure direct object references in the platform's data model. Because dbId values are enumerable and access controls do not restrict cross-application data retrieval, attackers can iterate identifiers to harvest records at scale.

Critical Impact
Unauthorized parties can enumerate dbId values to extract full user records and correlate behavior across multiple Adalo-hosted applications, resulting in large-scale personal data exposure.

Affected Products

Adalo no-code app builder Version 1
Adalo no-code app builder Version 2
Applications built on and hosted by the Adalo platform

Technical Details for CVE-2026-10706

Vulnerability Analysis

CVE-2026-10706 is an information disclosure vulnerability rooted in insecure direct object references (IDOR). Adalo's platform assigns records a dbId identifier that is predictable and enumerable. When an attacker requests data associated with arbitrary dbId values, the platform returns full user records without verifying that the requester is authorized to access them.

Because the same identifier scheme spans multiple applications built on Adalo, attackers can correlate user activity across unrelated apps. This produces a cross-application profile of behavior tied to identifiable users. The advisory from CERT/CC notes that the platform lacks data minimization and privacy-by-design controls, meaning excessive personally identifiable information (PII) is returned in each response.

Root Cause

The root cause is the combination of enumerable object identifiers and missing authorization checks on data retrieval endpoints. Adalo's backend serves records keyed by dbId without validating whether the caller has a legitimate relationship to the requested record. No rate limiting, tenancy isolation, or field-level filtering blocks bulk retrieval.

Attack Vector

An attacker interacts with Adalo application APIs and increments dbId values across the identifier space. Each request returns a complete user record. By repeating this process against different Adalo-hosted applications, the attacker joins records on shared identifiers or attributes and reconstructs cross-application behavior profiles. No authentication bypass or memory corruption primitive is required. Technical details are available in the CERT Vulnerability Advisory #849433.

Detection Methods for CVE-2026-10706

Indicators of Compromise

Sequential or high-volume requests to Adalo application endpoints containing incrementing dbId parameters.
API responses returning full user records to clients that lack a prior authenticated session for those records.
Traffic from single source addresses or automation frameworks touching many distinct dbId values in short intervals.

Detection Strategies

Inspect web server and API gateway logs for enumeration patterns against Adalo-hosted endpoints, focusing on dbId query and path parameters.
Correlate outbound data volumes from application backends against baseline usage to surface bulk record retrieval.
Alert on user-agent strings and IP addresses issuing requests that access records outside a normal per-session distribution.

Monitoring Recommendations

Establish request-rate baselines per authenticated identity for record-fetch operations and alert on deviations.
Log every record retrieval with the requester identity, target dbId, and response size for forensic review.
Monitor for horizontal access patterns where one identity touches records belonging to many distinct end users.

How to Mitigate CVE-2026-10706

Immediate Actions Required

Contact Adalo for guidance on remediation status and confirm whether hosted applications require configuration changes.
Review published Adalo applications for endpoints that expose dbId in requests and restrict access at the application layer where possible.
Reduce the sensitivity of stored fields by removing unnecessary PII from user collections until the platform issue is addressed.

Patch Information

No vendor patch information is listed in the NVD entry at time of publication. Refer to the CERT Vulnerability Advisory #849433 for updates on vendor coordination and remediation status.

Workarounds

Apply application-layer authorization checks in custom actions or external APIs invoked by Adalo apps to validate record ownership before returning data.
Introduce rate limiting and anomaly detection in any front-facing proxy or WAF placed in front of Adalo-hosted applications.
Minimize the data returned to clients by restructuring collections so that record fetches do not include sensitive fields by default.

bash

# Example: sample WAF rule concept to throttle dbId enumeration
# (adapt to your gateway's rule syntax)
rate_limit:
  match:
    path: "/api/*"
    query_param: "dbId"
  threshold: 30_requests_per_minute_per_ip
  action: block
