How it works

  • An authenticated user sends an analytics filter naming a profile field.
  • OpenPanel places that field into a ClickHouse query without safely checking it.
  • The user can inject additional query logic through that field.
  • This can bypass project separation and reveal other organizations' analytics and profile information.

What to do

Compare your deployed OpenPanel source commit with cd24bb8. Code at or before cd24bb8 falls within the affected range.

Review the OpenPanel security advisory and apply its remediation guidance. The supplied guidance supports allowlisting profile columns or escaping identifiers before they enter ClickHouse queries.
