Impact
The vulnerability resides in ARKETEAM Protectel modules PROTECTELMAJ and BDF, allowing users with low privileges to invoke functionalities that are intended for administrators by forging direct requests to a particular endpoint. The attack grants unauthorized privileged actions, effectively bypassing the intended access controls. This represents a Privilege Escalation weakness identified as CWE-863.
Affected Systems
Affected are ARKETEAM Protectel modules PROTECTELMAJ and BDF. Versions v6.5.18 and older of PROTECTELMAJ, and v6.4.66 and older of BDF are vulnerable. The issue is fixed in PROTECTELMAJ v6.5.19 and BDF v6.4.67.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote via HTTP request forgery, requiring only knowledge of the specific endpoint and the ability to send crafted requests. Successful exploitation would elevate a user’s privileges, potentially allowing unauthorized configuration changes or data access.
