CVE Database - Incorrect Authorization

UI / API User with asset materialize permission could trigger dags they had no access to. Users are advised to migrate to Airflow version 3.2.0 that fixes the issue.

Movary is a self hosted web app to track and rate a user's watched movies. Prior to version 0.71.1, an ordinary authenticated user can access the user-management endpoints `/settings/users` and use them to enumerate all users and create a new administrator account. This happens because the route definitions do not enforce admin-only middleware, and the controller-level authorization check uses a broken boolean condition. As a result, any user with a valid web session cookie can reach functionality that should be restricted to administrators. Version 0.71.1 patches the issue.

zrok is software for sharing web services, files, and network resources. Prior to version 2.0.1, the unaccess handler (controller/unaccess.go) contains a logical error in its ownership guard: when a frontend record has environment_id = NULL (the marker for admin-created global frontends), the condition short-circuits to false and allows the deletion to proceed without any ownership verification. A non-admin user who knows a global frontend token can call DELETE /api/v2/unaccess with any of their own environment IDs and permanently delete the global frontend, taking down all public shares routed through it. Version 2.0.1 patches the issue.

The Auth0 Next.js SDK is a library for implementing user authentication in Next.js applications. In versions 4.12.0 through 4.17.1, simultaneous requests that trigger a nonce retry may cause the proxy cache fetcher to perform improper lookups for the token request results. Users are affected if their project uses both the vulnerable versions and the proxy handler /me/* and /my-org/* with DPoP enabled. This issue has been fixed in version 4.18.0.

OpenHarness before commit bd4df81 contains a permission bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to read sensitive files by exploiting incomplete path normalization in the permission checker. Attackers can invoke the built-in grep and glob tools with sensitive root directories that are not properly evaluated against configured path rules, allowing disclosure of sensitive local file content, key material, configuration files, or directory contents despite configured path restrictions.

The Silverstripe Assets Module is a required component of Silverstripe Framework. In versions prior to 2.4.5 and 3.0.0-rc1 through 3.1.2, images rendered in templates or otherwise accessed via DBFile::getURL() or DBFile::getSourceURL() incorrectly add an access grant to the current session, which bypasses file permissions. This usually happens when creating an image variant, for example using a manipulation method like ScaleWidth() or Convert(). Note that if developers use DBFile directly in the $db configuration for a DataObject class that doesn't subclass File, and if they were setting the visibility of those files to "protected", those files will now need an explicit access grant to be accessed. If developers do not want to explicitly provide access grants for these files in their apps (i.e. they want these files to be accessible by default), they should use the "public" visibility. This issue has been fixed in versions 2.4.5 and 3.1.3.

Istio is an open platform to connect, manage, and secure microservices. In versions 1.25.0 through 1.27.8, 1.28.0 through 1.28.5, 1.29.0, and 1.29.1, the serviceAccounts and notServiceAccounts fields in AuthorizationPolicy incorrectly interpret dots (.) as a regular expression matcher. Because . is a valid character in a service account name, an AuthorizationPolicy ALLOW rule targeting a service account such as cert-manager.io also matches cert-manager-io, cert-managerXio, etc. A DENY rule targeting the same name fails to block those variants. Fixes are available in versions 1.29.2, 1.28.6, and 1.27.9.

ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system. Versions 4.28.0 and prior contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the getRestQuery method of the @apostrophecms/piece-type module, where the method checks whether a MongoDB projection has already been set before applying the admin-configured publicApiProjection. An unauthenticated attacker can supply a project query parameter in the REST API request, which is processed by applyBuildersSafely before the permission check, pre-populating the projection state and causing the publicApiProjection to be skipped entirely. This allows disclosure of any field on publicly queryable documents that the administrator explicitly restricted from the public API, such as internal notes, draft content, or metadata. Exploitation is trivial, requiring only appending query parameters to a public URL with no authentication. This issue has been fixed in version 4.29.0.

A flaw was found in KubeVirt's Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) evaluation logic. The authorization mechanism improperly truncates subresource names, leading to incorrect permission evaluations. This allows authenticated users with specific custom roles to gain unauthorized access to subresources, potentially disclosing sensitive information or performing actions they are not permitted to do. Additionally, legitimate users may be denied access to resources.

IdentityIQ 8.5, all IdentityIQ 8.5 patch levels prior to 8.5p2, IdentityIQ 8.4, and all IdentityIQ 8.4 patch levels prior to 8.4p4 allow authenticated users assigned the Debug Pages Read Only capability or any custom capability with the ViewAccessDebugPage SPRight to incorrectly create new IdentityIQ objects.  Until a remediating security fix or patches containing this security fix are installed, the Debug Pages Read Only capability and any custom capabilities that contain the ViewAccessDebugPage SPRight should be unassigned from all identities and workgroups.

Velociraptor versions prior to 0.76.3 contain a vulnerability in the query() plugin which allows access to all orgs with the user's current ACL token. This allows an authenticated GUI user with access in one org, to use the query() plugin, in a notebook cell, to run VQL queries on other orgs which they may not have access to. The user's permissions in the other org are the same as the permissions they have in the org containing the notebook.

An access control vulnerability was discovered in the Threat Intelligence functionality due to a specific access restriction not being properly enforced for users with view-only privileges. An authenticated user with view-only privileges for the Threat Intelligence functionality can perform administrative actions on it, altering the rules configuration, and/or affecting their availability.

Chamilo LMS is an open-source learning management system. In versions prior to 2.0.0-RC.3, an insecure direct object modification vulnerability in the PUT /api/users/{id} endpoint allows any authenticated user with ROLE_STUDENT to escalate their privileges to ROLE_ADMIN by modifying the roles field on their own user record. The API Platform security expression is_granted('EDIT', object) only verifies record ownership, and the roles field is included in the writable serialization group, enabling any user to set arbitrary roles such as ROLE_ADMIN. Successful exploitation grants full administrative control of the platform, including access to all courses, user data, grades, and administrative settings. This issue has been fixed in version 2.0.0-RC.3.

Kiuwan SAST improperly authorizes SSO logins for locally disabled mapped user accounts, allowing disabled users to continue accessing the application. Kiuwan Cloud was affected, and Kiuwan SAST on-premise (KOP) was affected before 2.8.2509.4.

ClearanceKit intercepts file-system access events on macOS and enforces per-process access policies. Prior to 5.0.4-beta-1f46165, ClearanceKit's Endpoint Security event handler only checked the source path of dual-path file operations against File Access Authorization (FAA) rules and App Jail policies. The destination path was ignored entirely. This allowed any local process to bypass file-access protection by using rename, link, copyfile, exchangedata, or clone operations to place or replace files inside protected directories. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.0.4-beta-1f46165.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the HTTP /sessions/:sessionKey/history route that skips operator.read scope validation. Attackers can access session history without proper operator read permissions by sending HTTP requests to the vulnerable endpoint.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the POST /reset-profile endpoint that allows authenticated callers with operator.write access to browser.request to bypass profile mutation restrictions. Attackers can invoke POST /reset-profile through the browser.request surface to stop the running browser, close Playwright connections, and move profile directories to Trash, crossing intended privilege boundaries.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.24 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the HTTP /v1/models endpoint that fails to enforce operator read scope requirements. Attackers with only operator.approvals scope can enumerate gateway model metadata through the HTTP compatibility route, bypassing the stricter WebSocket RPC authorization checks.

Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to 2.3.0, the hasAccessToLabel function contains a SQL operator precedence bug that allows any authenticated user to read any label that has at least one task association, regardless of project access. Label titles, descriptions, colors, and creator information are exposed. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.0.

In systemd 259 before 260, there is local privilege escalation in systemd-machined because varlink can be used to reach the root namespace.

An issue was discovered in OpenStack Keystone 14 through 26 before 26.1.1, 27.0.0, 28.0.0, and 29.0.0. Restricted application credentials can create EC2 credentials. By using a restricted application credential to call the EC2 credential creation API, an authenticated user with only a reader role may obtain an EC2/S3 credential that carries the full set of the parent user's S3 permissions, effectively bypassing the role restrictions imposed on the application credential. Only deployments that use restricted application credentials in combination with the EC2/S3 compatibility API (swift3 / s3api) are affected.

The WP-Optimize plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of functionality due to missing capability checks in the `receive_heartbeat()` function in `includes/class-wp-optimize-heartbeat.php` in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.0. This is due to the Heartbeat handler directly invoking `Updraft_Smush_Manager_Commands` methods without verifying user capabilities, nonce tokens, or the allowed commands whitelist that the normal AJAX handler (`updraft_smush_ajax`) enforces. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to invoke admin-only Smush operations including reading log files (`get_smush_logs`), deleting all backup images (`clean_all_backup_images`), triggering bulk image processing (`process_bulk_smush`), and modifying Smush options (`update_smush_options`).

OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the gateway plugin subagent fallback deleteSession function that uses a synthetic operator.admin runtime scope. Attackers can exploit this by triggering session deletion without a request-scoped client to execute privileged operations with unintended administrative scope.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.22 contains a webhook path route replacement vulnerability in the Synology Chat extension that allows attackers to collapse multi-account configurations onto shared webhook paths. Attackers can exploit inherited or duplicate webhook paths to bypass per-account DM access control policies and replace route ownership across accounts.

OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains an improper access control vulnerability in the HTTP /sessions/:sessionKey/kill route that allows any bearer-authenticated user to invoke admin-level session termination functions without proper scope validation. Attackers can exploit this by sending authenticated requests to kill arbitrary subagent sessions via the killSubagentRunAdmin function, bypassing ownership and operator scope restrictions.

pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. Prior to 0.5.0b3.dev97, the /json/package_order, /json/link_order, and /json/abort_link WebUI JSON endpoints enforce weaker permissions than the core API methods they invoke. This allows authenticated low-privileged users to execute MODIFY operations that should be denied by pyLoad's own permission model. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev97.

Lychee is a free, open-source photo-management tool. Prior to 7.5.4, a SQL operator-precedence bug in SharingController::listAll() causes the orWhereNotNull('user_group_id') clause to escape the ownership filter applied by the when() block. Any authenticated non-admin user with upload permission who owns at least one album can retrieve all user-group-based sharing permissions across the entire instance, including private albums owned by other users. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.5.4.

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 18.6 before 18.8.9, 18.9 before 18.9.5, and 18.10 before 18.10.3 that under certain circumstances could have allowed an authenticated user with auditor privileges to modify vulnerability flag data in private projects due to incorrect authorization.

GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 11.3 before 18.8.9, 18.9 before 18.9.5, and 18.10 before 18.10.3 that could have allowed an authenticated user with developer-role permissions to modify protected environment settings due to improper authorization checks in the API.

Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in Kibana can lead to information disclosure via Privilege Abuse (CAPEC-122). A user with limited Fleet privileges can exploit an internal API endpoint to retrieve sensitive configuration data, including private keys and authentication tokens, that should only be accessible to users with higher-level settings privileges. The endpoint composes its response by fetching full configuration objects and returning them directly, bypassing the authorization checks enforced by the dedicated settings APIs.

Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in Kibana can lead to cross-space information disclosure via Privilege Abuse (CAPEC-122). A user with Fleet agent management privileges in one Kibana space can retrieve Fleet Server policy details from other spaces through an internal enrollment endpoint. The endpoint bypasses space-scoped access controls by using an unscoped internal client, returning operational identifiers, policy names, management state, and infrastructure linkage details from spaces the user is not authorized to access.

SWIG file names containing 'cgo' and well-crafted payloads could lead to code smuggling and arbitrary code execution at build time due to trust layer bypass.

Parse Server is an open source backend that can be deployed to any infrastructure that can run Node.js. Prior to 9.8.0-alpha.7 and 8.6.75, the GET /sessions/me endpoint returns _Session fields that the server operator explicitly configured as protected via the protectedFields server option. Any authenticated user can retrieve their own session's protected fields with a single request. The equivalent GET /sessions and GET /sessions/:objectId endpoints correctly strip protected fields. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.8.0-alpha.7 and 8.6.75.

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to 7.1.0, an authenticated API user can modify any family record's state without proper authorization by simply changing the {familyId} parameter in requests, regardless of whether they possess the required EditRecords privilege. /family/{familyId}/verify, /family/{familyId}/verify/url, /family/{familyId}/verify/now, /family/{familyId}/activate/{status}, and /family/{familyId}/geocode lack role-based access control, allowing users to deactivate/reactivate arbitrary families, spam verification emails, and mark families as verified and trigger geocoding. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.1.0.

OpenHarness prior to commit 166fcfe contains an improper access control vulnerability in built-in file tools due to inconsistent parameter handling in permission enforcement, allowing attackers who can influence agent tool execution to read arbitrary local files outside the intended repository scope. Attackers can exploit the path parameter not being passed to the PermissionChecker in read_file, write_file, edit_file, and notebook_edit tools to bypass deny rules and access sensitive files such as configuration files, credentials, and SSH material, or create and overwrite files in restricted host paths in full_auto mode.

File Browser is a file managing interface for uploading, deleting, previewing, renaming, and editing files within a specified directory. Prior to 2.63.1, when an admin revokes a user's Share and Download permissions, existing share links created by that user remain fully accessible to unauthenticated users. The public share download handler does not re-check the share owner's current permissions. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.63.1.

pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. Prior to 0.5.0b3.dev97, the ADMIN_ONLY_CORE_OPTIONS authorization set in set_config_value() uses incorrect option names ssl_cert and ssl_key, while the actual configuration option names are ssl_certfile and ssl_keyfile. This name mismatch causes the admin-only check to always evaluate to False, allowing any user with SETTINGS permission to overwrite the SSL certificate and key file paths. Additionally, the ssl_certchain option was never added to the admin-only set at all. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev97.

FTLDNS (pihole-FTL) provides an interactive API and also generates statistics for Pi-hole's Web interface. From 6.0 to before 6.6, Pi-hole FTL supports a CLI password feature (webserver.api.cli_pw) that creates “CLI” API sessions intended to be read-only for configuration changes. While /api/config correctly blocks CLI sessions from mutating configuration, /api/teleporter allowed Teleporter imports for CLI sessions, enabling a CLI-scoped session to overwrite configuration via a Teleporter archive (authorization bypass). This vulnerability is fixed in 6.6.

changedetection.io is a free open source web page change detection tool. Prior to 0.54.8, the @login_optionally_required decorator is placed before (outer to) @blueprint.route() instead of after it. In Flask, @route() must be the outermost decorator because it registers the function it receives. When the order is reversed, @route() registers the original undecorated function, and the auth wrapper is never in the call chain. This silently disables authentication on these routes. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.54.8.

This issue was fixed in version 4.0.260205.0 of the runZero Platform.

An issue that could allow an authorized user to view the clear-text secrets for a subset of credential types and fields has been resolved. This is an instance of CWE-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials, and has an estimated CVSS score of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (5.3 Medium). This issue was fixed in version 4.0.260204.2 of the runZero Platform.

An issue that allowed MCP agents to access certificate information from outside of their authorized organization scope has been resolved. This is an instance of CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, and has an estimated CVSS score of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N (3.0 Low). This issue was fixed in version 4.0.260203.0 of the runZero Platform.

An issue that allowed administrators to create and update users outside of their authorized organization scope has been resolved. This is an instance of CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, and has an estimated CVSS score of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N (5.8 Medium). This issue was fixed in version 4.0.260203.0 of the runZero Platform.

An issue that allowed MCP agents to access remediation and asset information from outside of the authorized organization scope has been resolved. This is an instance of CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, and has an estimated CVSS score of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N (5.8 Medium). This issue was fixed in version 4.0.260202.0 of the runZero Platform.

pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. The fix for CVE-2026-33509 added an ADMIN_ONLY_OPTIONS set to block non-admin users from modifying security-critical config options. The storage_folder option is not in this set and passes the existing path restriction because the Flask session directory is outside both PKGDIR and userdir. A user with SETTINGS and ADD permissions can redirect downloads to the Flask filesystem session store, plant a malicious pickle payload as a predictable session file, and trigger arbitrary code execution when any HTTP request arrives with the corresponding session cookie. This vulnerability is fixed with commit c4cf995a2803bdbe388addfc2b0f323277efc0e1.

Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in Erlang OTP (inets modules) allows unauthenticated access to CGI scripts protected by directory rules when served via script_alias. When script_alias maps a URL prefix to a directory outside DocumentRoot, mod_auth evaluates directory-based access controls against the DocumentRoot-relative path while mod_cgi executes the script at the ScriptAlias-resolved path. This path mismatch allows unauthenticated access to CGI scripts that directory rules were meant to protect. This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/inets/src/http_server/mod_alias.erl, lib/inets/src/http_server/mod_auth.erl, and lib/inets/src/http_server/mod_cgi.erl. This issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 until OTP 28.4.2, 27.3.4.10 and 26.2.5.19 corresponding to inets from 5.10 until 9.6.2, 9.3.2.4 and 9.1.0.6.

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Prior to 11.17.0, aggregate functions (min, max) applied to fields with the conceal special type incorrectly return raw database values instead of the masked placeholder. When combined with groupBy, any authenticated user with read access to the affected collection can extract concealed field values, including static API tokens and two-factor authentication secrets from directus_users. This vulnerability is fixed in 11.17.0.
