  "details" : "### Summary\nBudibase 3.39.7 allows a low-privilege authenticated published-app user with the built-in BASIC role to obtain arbitrary S3 pre-signed upload URLs backed by a workspace datasource's stored server-side credentials.\n\nThe affected endpoint is:\n\n`POST /api/attachments/:datasourceId/url`\n\nThe caller can control:\n```text\nbucket\nkey\n```\nand receives:\n```text\nsignedUrl\npublicUrl\n```\n\nThis lets a low-privilege published-app user mint S3 `PUT` URLs using server-side datasource credentials for attacker-chosen object destinations.\n\nSteps:\n\n1. Log in as an admin user.\n2. Create a new app/workspace.\n3. In the development app context, create an S3 datasource with valid credentials.\n4. Publish the app.\n5. Create a low-privilege user with the built-in BASIC role on the published production app ID.\n6. Log in as that BASIC user.\n7. Send:\n`POST /api/attachments/<datasourceId>/url`\n\nwith:\n```json\n{\"bucket\":\"foo\",\"key\":\"bar\"}\n```\nand the published app header:\n```text\nx-budibase-app-id: <published_app_id>\n```\nObserve a successful response containing:\n```text\nsignedUrl\npublicUrl\n```\n\n### Observed result\n\nThe following behavior:\n\ndev BASIC request: 403 User does not have permission\napp publish: SUCCESS\nprod BASIC request: 200 OK\nExample confirmed runtime values from the final successful run:\n```text\nprodAppId: app_e6b4cdc6cd6949969a83ff11eee88c5a\ndatasourceId: datasource_0cec491b26a742468257c62382aa3284\npublicUrl: https://foo.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/bar\n```\nThe returned signedUrl contained standard AWS signing markers, including:\n```text\nX-Amz-Credential=bb\nX-Amz-Signature\nX-Amz-Expires=900\n```\n### Impact\n\nA low-privilege published-app user who knows a valid datasource ID can mint S3 upload URLs backed by server-side datasource credentials and choose arbitrary destination bucket and key values.\n\n### Route definition\n`packages/server/src/api/routes/static.ts:45`\nAuthorization logic\n`packages/server/src/middleware/authorized.ts`\n`packages/server/src/middleware/resourceId.ts`\nController logic\n`packages/server/src/api/controllers/static/index.ts`\nDatasource lookup\n`packages/server/src/sdk/workspace/datasources/datasources.ts`",
