Description
Huly Platform through 0.7.432 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows any authenticated user to merge arbitrary persons by calling the mergeSpecifiedPersons account RPC. Attackers knowing two person UUIDs can graft attacker-controlled unverified social ids onto a victim person, then use login or password recovery to take over the victim account.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Huly Platform up to version 0.7.432 has a missing authorization flaw in the mergeSpecifiedPersons account RPC. Any authenticated user can invoke this operation to merge any two person UUIDs. Attackers can therefore graft attacker‑controlled, unverified social IDs onto a victim's person record and later gain control of the victim account via login or password recovery. This gives full account takeover capabilities.

Affected Systems

hcengineering Huly Platform, all releases up to and including 0.7.432, where the mergeSpecifiedPersons RPC is available.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.6, indicating high severity. Exploitation requires only an authenticated session and is possible for any logged‑in user. Because the attack vector is user‑based and not limited by network constraints, the risk is high for all users of the affected platform. The EPSS score is not available and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the high CVSS and the ease of exploitation mean that the likelihood of actual attacks remains considerable.

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a Huly Platform release that includes the authorization fix for mergeSpecifiedPersons (any version newer than 0.7.432).
  • Restrict the mergeSpecifiedPersons RPC to only users with appropriate roles, adding explicit authorization checks.
  • Disable or remove the mergeSpecifiedPersons endpoint temporarily if a patch cannot be deployed immediately.
