Description
Camunda 7.24.0 before 7.24.14 and 7.23.0 before 7.23.17 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the Cockpit webapp that allows authenticated attackers to bypass permission checks due to an inverted comparison logic in AbstractCockpitPluginResource.isPermissionDisabled(). Attackers with minimal Cockpit access can exploit a non-empty disabledPermissions configuration to read all process instances, process definitions, and incidents engine-wide without triggering any logging, regardless of their actual data grants.

AI Analysis

Impact

Camunda Engine versions before 7.24.14 and 7.23.17 contain an authorization bypass in the Cockpit web application that lets authenticated users override permission checks via an inverted comparison in AbstractCockpitPluginResource.isPermissionDisabled(). When a non‑empty disabledPermissions configuration exists, attackers with minimal Cockpit rights can read all process instances, definitions, and incidents across the entire engine without any audit logging. This flaw enables full data disclosure to users who are not actually granted such visibility.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability applies to Camunda 7.24.0 prior to 7.24.14 and Camunda 7.23.0 prior to 7.23.17, both components of the Camunda BPM Engine under the Camunda 7 product line.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6 indicates medium severity, and the EPSS score is not available; the flaw is not cataloged in CISA KEV. Exploit requires an authenticated user, so the likely attack vector involves an internal threat or compromised user account. While the exploit does not grant code execution, it enables unrestricted data exposure system‑wide, which can aid further attacks if the disclosed information is leveraged.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Camunda 7.24.14 or 7.23.17 or newer to patch the authorization bypass.
  • If immediate upgrade is not feasible, clear any disabledPermissions settings or set them to an empty value to prevent the inverted logic from allowing access.
  • Review Cockpit role assignments and tighten permissions, ensuring users have only the necessary access, and perform an audit to confirm no residual data exposure.
