Trigger.dev: Cross-site request forgery in CLI authorization flow leads to PAT takeover
Summary
Trigger.dev before 4.5.2 contains a cross-site request forgery flaw in the CLI authorization-code flow. Loading a crafted authorization URL while logged in silently creates a Personal Access Token (PAT) without any consent step, and an unauthenticated API endpoint then returns that PAT to the attacker. An attacker who lures a logged-in user to the link can take over the account, including access to all organizations and projects the user can reach.
Affected
- Trigger.dev versions before 4.5.2 (VulnCheck: >= 0, < 4.5.2)
- Managed cloud and self-hosted instances
Fixed in
- Upgrade to Trigger.dev 4.5.2 or later; the latest release is recommended
- The exact first fixed release is not confirmed by a primary source; check the GitHub advisory's patched versions field
Workaround
- None documented by the vendor. Self-hosted operators must upgrade; hosted users depend on the provider.
Exploitation
- Public proof of concept: yes (linked in the maintainer's advisory)
- CISA SSVC: exploitation status PoC, automatable: no, technical impact: total
- Not listed in CISA KEV
- Exploitation in the wild: unknown
Our recommendation
- Upgrade Trigger.dev to 4.5.2 or later (latest release recommended)
- Review and revoke existing Personal Access Tokens, especially those created when a user clicked an unknown link, and rotate any token that may be exposed
- Warn users not to open unexpected Trigger.dev authorization links while logged in
- Monitor account and organization activity for unexpected changes
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.

Original description (NVD)
Trigger.dev before 4.5.2 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the CLI authorization-code flow because loading /account/authorization-code/<code> mints a Personal Access Token without any consent step. Attackers mint an unauthenticated code, lure a logged-in user to that URL, then retrieve the victim's PAT from the unauthenticated /api/v1/token endpoint to take over the account.
