CVE-2026-70561
TestLink 1.9.20 and prior contains an insecure direct object reference vulnerability that allows any authenticated user, including low-privilege guest accounts, to read arbitrary attachments by supplying an integer attachment ID to the attachmentdownload.php handler without any project or role authorization check. Attackers can enumerate sequential integer IDs through the attachment download endpoint to retrieve file contents from private projects they have no membership in, bypassing the per-project access control model and exposing test specifications, requirements documents, execution evidence, and other sensitive uploaded files across the entire installation.
No public exploitation has been reported so far. No distribution fix is listed yet; apply vendor mitigations and monitor.
Recommended action: Track your distribution's security tracker and apply the fix as soon as it ships.

Affected & fixed versions by distribution
Versions are the native distribution strings (backport-aware): RHEL/Debian/SUSE backport fixes, so compare with the distro version comparator (dpkg / rpm / vercmp), not the upstream version.
No affected package in the tracked watchlist yet (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, SUSE, Red Hat...). Triage may still be pending.
