Impact
A flaw in Dolibarr ERP CRM’s messaging.php function allows an attacker to manipulate the ID parameter in web requests, bypassing the normal authorization checks that protect user messages. This improper access control (CWE‑285) and user‑controlled key bypass (CWE‑639) enable the attacker to read or modify messages belonging to other users, potentially exposing private communications or facilitating further attacks within the application.
Affected Systems
Dolibarr ERP CRM releases 23.0.0, 23.0.1, and 23.0.2 are vulnerable. The flaw was fixed in version 23.0.3 by correcting the validation logic in the messaging module; upgrading to this or any newer release removes the vulnerability.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.3 marks the issue as moderate severity. An attacker can exploit it remotely by sending crafted HTTP requests that alter the ID argument. No EPSS data is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it is not widely exploited yet. Nevertheless, because the bug escalates privileges within the application, it should be remediated promptly.
