Weblate is a web-based continuous localization platform used to manage software translations. In versions prior to 2026.7, the REST API did not properly enforce the scope of project- and workspace-scoped teams, allowing a user to submit invalid team configurations through the API. By assigning projects to a team via these unvalidated requests, a user could grant access to projects they were not authorized to see or manage. This could expose private projects and permit translation, repository, and project-management operations outside the user's intended permission scope. This issue is fixed in version 2026.7.
CVE-2026-55228
This high-severity CVE scores 8.1 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 87% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
