Short explanation
The CVE-2026-97702 vulnerability in Open edX Platform occurs because the GET /api/support/v1/manage_course_team/ endpoint omits the global authorization check. Authenticated users can leverage response discrepancies to verify account existence or obtain assignment details depending on their role.
This vulnerability allows authenticated users to improperly query sensitive account and role information. It can lead to privacy breaches by exposing whether accounts exist or revealing role assignments.
What should be done?
- Upgrading to release/ulmo.4 or release/verawood.1
- Following the vendor advisory for specific remediation steps
- Ensuring proper access control gates are enforced on API endpoints

Show the technical text from the sources
Open edX Platform enables the authoring and delivery of online learning at any scale. From the Ulmo release until release/ulmo.4 and release/verawood.1, the GET /api/support/v1/manage_course_team/ endpoint in CourseTeamManageAPIView requires only IsAuthenticated and omits the global support-role authorization check intended for this help-desk surface. Any authenticated learner can supply an email, username, or user_id for an arbitrary target and use the 200 and 404 response discrepancy to distinguish an active account from an absent or inactive account. A caller with a course-level or organization-level instructor role can additionally obtain the target user's staff or instructor assignments within the caller's course or organization scope. Anonymous callers remain blocked, and the separately authorized PUT behavior is outside this vulnerability. This issue is fixed in release/ulmo.4 and release/verawood.1.
