Description
bbs-go through 4.4.6 contains a permission bypass vulnerability in the AdminMiddleware authorization logic where the read-only dashboard.user.view permission rule matches the /api/admin/user/synccount endpoint before the intended dashboard.user.update rule. Authenticated users with only view permissions can call the synccount endpoint to trigger expensive full-table user recounts and cache invalidations, causing denial of service through repeated concurrent database operations.

Score: 5.3 Medium

KEV: No
Impact: Denial of Service via permission bypass
Action: Patch or Restrict
AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a permission bypass in the AdminMiddleware authorization logic that allows authenticated users who only have read‑only view permissions to call the /api/admin/user/synccount endpoint. This endpoint triggers expensive full‑table recounts and cache invalidations, leading to a denial of service when invoked repeatedly and concurrently.

Affected Systems

The affected product is mlogclub bbs-go version 4.4.6. No other products or versions are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 5.3 the severity is moderate. The vulnerability requires authentication and only permits denial of service; it does not provide a path to privilege escalation or data exfiltration. Since the EPSS score is not available and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the likelihood of widespread exploitation is uncertain, but any authenticated user with view rights can trigger the denial of service condition. The attack vector is through the /api/admin/user/synccount endpoint after logging in, and the impact is limited to service disruption rather than data compromise.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade bbs-go to a version that fixes the AdminMiddleware authorization logic (≥4.4.7).
  • Restrict access to the /api/admin/user/synccount endpoint so that only users with dashboard.user.update permission can invoke it.
  • Implement rate limiting or queuing on the synccount endpoint to prevent repeated full‑table recounts.
