Impact
An insecure direct object reference in MphRx's Minerva allows an authenticated user to modify the profiles of other registered users. This is a CWE‑284: Improper Access Control vulnerability. Through the '/minerva/user/updateUserProfile' endpoint, a threat actor can alter personal data such as an email address and can then trigger a password reset via the '/webconnect/#/forgotPassword' endpoint, effectively taking over the target account.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability affects MphRx Minerva version 3.6.0. No other affected releases are listed.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 9.4 indicates critical severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability has not been catalogued in the CISA KEV list. Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session; once authenticated, the attacker can target any other user. The lack of a publicly disclosed fix amplifies the risk until the vendor releases a patch or workaround.
