CVE-2026-108692 in CordysCRM
Summary
by MITRE • 10/11/2026
1Panel-dev CordysCRM from 1.9.0 before 1.9.2 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in eight ModuleFieldController /field/source data-source endpoints lacking permission checks. Authenticated users denied module permission can page through organization-wide leads, contacts, quotations, contracts, payment plans, payment records, orders and invoices owned by other users.

The identified security flaw resides within the 1Panel-dev CordysCRM software suite, specifically affecting versions ranging from 1.9.0 up to but not including 1.9.2. This vulnerability is classified as a missing authorization issue, which fundamentally represents a failure in the application's access control mechanisms. In secure web applications, every request intended to modify or retrieve sensitive data must be validated against the user's permissions and roles before execution. However, in this specific instance, eight distinct endpoints within the ModuleFieldController component, specifically those handling field source data sources, fail to perform adequate permission checks. This architectural oversight allows authenticated users who have been explicitly denied access to certain modules by an administrator or system policy to bypass these restrictions entirely through direct API manipulation.
The technical nature of this flaw involves a broken object level authorization failure where the application relies on client-side controls or assumes that authentication implies sufficient privilege for all actions within the session, rather than enforcing server-side validation for each specific resource access request. By targeting the field source data-source endpoints, an attacker can exploit these unprotected routes to query and retrieve structured business data. The vulnerability does not require complex exploitation techniques such as buffer overflows or injection attacks; it simply requires sending a properly formatted HTTP GET request with valid authentication credentials belonging to a user who lacks specific module permissions. This simplicity makes the attack vector highly reliable and easy to execute for any authenticated individual within the system, regardless of their assigned role hierarchy.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe due to the breadth of data exposed through these endpoints. An attacker can page through organization-wide records belonging to other users across multiple critical business modules. This includes sensitive leads, which contain potential customer information and sales pipeline details; contacts, which hold personal identifiable information such as names, emails, and phone numbers; quotations and contracts, which reveal financial terms and legal agreements; payment plans and payment records, which expose financial transaction history and banking details; and orders and invoices, which provide insight into operational workflows and revenue streams. The ability to enumerate this data allows for comprehensive reconnaissance of the organization's business operations, customer base, and financial health, potentially leading to further attacks such as social engineering, corporate espionage, or targeted phishing campaigns based on the harvested intelligence.
From a classification perspective, this vulnerability aligns with CWE-285, which describes Improper Authorization, specifically falling under the sub-category of insufficient access control for data objects. It also maps directly to MITRE ATT&CK technique T1078, Valid Accounts, as it involves an attacker using legitimate credentials to access resources they are not authorized to view, and potentially T1213, Data from Information Repositories, given the extraction of structured business data. The lack of proper authorization checks at the API level represents a critical deviation from secure coding standards that mandate explicit permission verification for every state-changing or sensitive read operation.
To mitigate this vulnerability, immediate patching to version 1.9.2 or later is required as it addresses these specific access control gaps. In environments where upgrading is not immediately feasible, network-level controls such as Web Application Firewalls can be configured to monitor and restrict access patterns to the ModuleFieldController endpoints for users who do not exhibit normal behavior profiles. Additionally, developers should implement a centralized authorization middleware that intercepts all requests to sensitive controllers and validates user permissions against the requested resource before allowing execution. This ensures that even if specific endpoint logic is flawed, a global security layer enforces consistent access policies across the entire application surface area. Regular code reviews focusing on role-based access control implementation are also recommended to prevent similar oversights in future development cycles.
