Description
SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Prior to 7.15.2 and 8.10.2, the V8 module API exposes CRUD operations for administrator-only modules to any authenticated OAuth2 user. The affected flow begins at /Api/V8/module and uses ACLRoles, ACLActions, and Administration to carry attacker-controlled data or authorization state into the security-sensitive operation. A low-privileged user can create roles, change ACL levels, bind elevated roles, and alter global configuration to obtain administrator-equivalent control of CRM data and behavior. This issue is fixed in versions 7.15.2 and 8.10.2.

Impact

The V8 module API exposes CRUD operations for administrator‑only modules to any authenticated OAuth2 user, and it fails to enforce ACL checks on the ACLRoles, ACLActions, and Administration endpoints. A low‑privileged user can supply crafted data to these endpoints, creating new roles, changing ACL levels, binding elevated roles, and altering global configuration. This effectively grants the attacker administrator‑equivalent control over all CRM data and system behavior.

Affected Systems

SuiteCRM SuiteCRM versions prior to 7.15.2 and 8.10.2 are affected when the V8 REST interface is enabled. The vulnerability is fixed in releases 7.15.2, 8.10.2, and later versions.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 8.8, indicating a high severity vulnerability. EPSS information is unavailable, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the flaw can be triggered by any authenticated OAuth2 user via the /Api/V8/module endpoint, the attack vector is remote and does not require local system access. An attacker needs only a valid user account with normal privileges to craft the requests that modify ACL settings and global configuration.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade SuiteCRM to version 7.15.2 or 8.10.2 (or later) to apply the fix that restores proper ACL enforcement.
  • Re‑configure OAuth2 scopes or ACL settings so that non‑administrator users cannot invoke the ACLRoles, ACLActions, or Administration endpoints of the V8 API.
  • Temporarily disable the V8 REST interface on production servers until the patch is applied if an immediate upgrade is not possible.
