CVE-2026-62382: PasswordPusher v1.45.11-v2.9.5 - Unauthenticated Anonymous Push Deletion via Ownership Bypass

id: CVE-2026-62382

info:
  name: PasswordPusher v1.45.11-v2.9.5 - Unauthenticated Anonymous Push Deletion via Ownership Bypass
  author: DhiyaneshDk
  severity: medium
  description: |
    PasswordPusher v1.45.11 through v2.9.5 allows unauthenticated deletion of anonymous pushes due to a nil==nil ownership-check bypass (CWE-863). The deletion guard evaluates (@push.user == current_user) || @push.deletable_by_viewer. For anonymous pushes, @push.user is nil; for unauthenticated requests, current_user is nil. Ruby evaluates nil==nil as true, so the ownership check passes and the deletable_by_viewer=false restriction is completely bypassed. Anyone who knows the secret URL token can permanently expire an anonymous push without any credentials.
  impact: |
    An unauthenticated attacker who knows a push's secret URL token can permanently delete (expire) any anonymous push, even when the push creator explicitly set deletable_by_viewer to false.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade PasswordPusher to v2.9.6 or later.
