CVE-2026-49464: NL Portal IDOR Allows Any Authenticated User Vulnerability
HIGHCVE-2026-49464 is a HIGH (CVSS 8.1) idor allows any authenticated user vulnerability (CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) affecting NL Portal libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The issue involves idor allows any authenticated user to complete and tamper with another user's taak. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 3.0.1.
CVE-2026-49464 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 8.1
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2026-49464
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected NL Portal dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
<dependency>
<groupId>nl.nl-portal</groupId>
<artifactId>taak</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
</dependency>
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=nl.nl-portal
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-49464, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=nl.nl-portal
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of NL Portal in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.0.1), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=nl.nl-portal command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key, where the system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data. In NL Portal, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"details" : "## Impact\n\nIn versions from 1.5.0 up to and including 3.0.0, any authenticated portal user could complete and tamper with another user's open task by submitting it on their behalf. The task submission endpoint accepted a task ID and a payload, but it never checked whether the task actually belonged to the user making the call.\n\nAn attacker who held a valid login (a normal `burger` OAuth token) and who knew or guessed another user's task ID could:\n\n- Mark someone else's task as completed.\n- Overwrite the data submitted with that task — the `verzonden_data` — with arbitrary input of their choosing.\n- Receive the full task back in the GraphQL response, including the form data that the legitimate owner had already entered. This leaks personal data belonging to the original user.\n\nFunctionally this means a malicious authenticated user could submit and alter forms in any other user's name, while at the same time reading what that user had previously filled in. Both the integrity of submitted data and the confidentiality of form contents are affected.\n\nThe vulnerable code was introduced together with the Taak V2 implementation (commit `bb1c1ecf`, 2024-06-04) and first shipped in the `1.5.x` release line. Earlier 1.x releases did not contain this resolver.\n\n## Patches\n\nUpgrade to **3.0.1** or later.\n\nFix commit: `8e699add` — \"Add auth check for task submission\".\n\n## Workarounds\n\nUntil the upgrade is applied, block the `submitTaakV2` GraphQL mutation at the API gateway, or restrict the `/graphql` endpoint to trusted networks.\n\n## Technical details\n\nThe resolver `nl.nlportal.zgw.taak.service.TaakService.submitTaakV2(id, submission, authentication)` fetched the task object by UUID and immediately transitioned it to the `AFGEROND` state, writing `record.data.portaalformulier.verzondenData` from caller-supplied input. No check verified that the task's `identificatie` matched the authenticated burger.\n\nThe fix adds a call to a new `isAuthorizedForTaak(authentication, objectsApiTask)` before the status change. The check compares `identificatie.type` and `identificatie.value` against the authenticated principal and validates the task's `eigenaar` for `bedrijf` `machtigingen`.\n\n## Credits\n\nDiscovered during the nl-portal-backend-libraries penetration testing engagement (phase 1, May 2026).
