Description
CRMEB contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the verifyAuth() method of SystemRoleServices.php that returns true from both conditional branches. Sub-administrators and accounts with no roles can access restricted admin endpoints by exploiting the inert role check that always permits requests.

AI Analysis

Impact

CRMEB’s verifyAuth() method has a logic flaw where both branches return true, enabling an authentication bypass. As a result, users with sub‑administrator privileges or no assigned roles can reach admin endpoints that should be protected. This flaw can lead to elevated privileges, data exposure, or manipulation of administrative functions caused by unrestricted access to secured routes.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects CRMEB, specifically all releases up to and including version 6.0.0.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates high severity. While an EPSS score is not available, the lack of a KEV listing suggests no widely known exploits yet. The likely attack vector requires an attacker to log in with an account that has either no roles or is a sub‑administrator. Once authenticated, the attacker can exploit the inert role check to access restricted endpoints, bypassing intended authorization controls.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest CRMEB release that corrects the verifyAuth logic or install the vendor‑supplied patch.
  • If an update is unavailable, revoke the sub‑administrator role from all accounts and prevent accounts with no roles from accessing admin paths until a fix is applied.
  • Introduce explicit role validation middleware on critical admin endpoints to enforce proper authorization before executing privileged functions.
