The Issues API in Redmine before 2.6.8, 3.0.x before 3.0.6, and 3.1.x before 3.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information in changeset messages by leveraging permission to read issues with related changesets from other projects.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Redmine could expose sensitive source-control changeset messages through its Issues API. A logged-in user with permission to read issues could see changeset messages from related projects they otherwise should not access. This is a confidentiality issue, not a confirmed remote code execution or unauthenticated compromise. Exposure is most likely in organizations running older Redmine instances with the Issues API enabled and projects linked to source repositories. Risk increases where users have broad issue-read permissions across projects containing sensitive commit messages. Treat as a focused confidentiality remediation. It is not evidenced as actively exploited, but affected Redmine instances may leak sensitive development information to authenticated users. Prioritize upgrade if Redmine hosts private repositories, customer work, or regulated project data. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Redmine to 2.6.8, 3.0.6, 3.1.2, or later supported releases.; For Debian-packaged Redmine, review and apply Debian DSA-3529 guidance.; Restrict Issues API access until upgraded where business workflows allow..
