Description
eladmin through 2.7 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows department-scoped user managers to modify or delete accounts outside their data scope because write handlers skip department checks. Attackers with user:edit or user:del permissions can send PUT or DELETE requests to /api/users with target user ids to disable, reassign, alter, or delete accounts in other departments.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a broken access control in eladmin versions up to 2.7. Write handlers for /api/users bypass department checks, enabling users with user:edit or user:del permissions to modify or delete accounts in other departments. This can lead to unauthorized account disabling, reassignment, or removal, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity of user data for affected departments.

Affected Systems

elunez’s eladmin application, versions through 2.7, is affected. The specific endpoint is /api/users used for update and delete operations.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates medium severity. EPSS score is not available, so the current exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no confirmed widespread exploitation. Attackers with appropriate permissions could remotely send PUT or DELETE requests to the API endpoint to affect accounts beyond the intended scope.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a version of eladmin later than 2.7 where the access control checks have been fixed.
  • Restrict user:edit and user:del permissions to only those who must be able to modify accounts within the same department, and enforce role-based access control.
  • Monitor logs for unexpected updates or deletions with department mismatches, and audit user actions regularly.
