An information disclosure vulnerability in Windmill Labs Windmill through 1.783.0 allows any authenticated workspace member to read legacy ownerless draft scripts that contain plaintext resource credentials. Drafts with a null owner email bypass ACL enforcement and are returned to any workspace member who queries the drafts endpoint. Sensitive credentials stored in these drafts are exposed across ACL boundaries.
