CVE-2026-108700 in CordysCRM
Summary
by MITRE • 10/11/2026
1Panel-dev CordysCRM before 1.9.2 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated users to list business titles by calling POST /field/source/business-title without permission checks. Users lacking CONTRACT_BUSINESS_TITLE_READ can retrieve organization invoicing entities, exposing tax identification numbers, bank account numbers, opening banks, registration addresses, and phone numbers.

The vulnerability identified in 1Panel-dev CordysCRM prior to version 1.9.2 represents a critical failure in access control mechanisms, specifically categorized under CWE-862 Missing Authorization. This flaw allows authenticated users who lack the necessary permissions for the CONTRACT_BUSINESS_TITLE_READ privilege to execute sensitive operations by directly invoking specific API endpoints without proper validation of their authorization levels. The core technical issue lies within the POST /field/source/business-title endpoint, which processes requests and returns data related to business titles but fails to verify whether the requesting user has been granted explicit rights to access this information. This architectural oversight effectively bypasses the intended security boundaries established by the application's role-based access control model, enabling unauthorized actors to retrieve sensitive organizational data simply by crafting a valid HTTP POST request with appropriate authentication tokens.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe due to the nature and sensitivity of the exposed data fields. By exploiting this missing authorization check, an attacker can enumerate organization invoicing entities, which leads to the disclosure of highly confidential financial and personal information. Specifically, the compromised data includes tax identification numbers, bank account details such as account numbers and opening banks, physical registration addresses, and direct contact phone numbers. This exposure not only violates user privacy but also poses significant risks for subsequent attacks including social engineering, targeted phishing campaigns, or even financial fraud where attackers might use the retrieved banking information to attempt unauthorized transactions or impersonate legitimate business entities. The availability of such detailed organizational data can severely damage an organization's reputation and lead to regulatory penalties under data protection laws like GDPR or CCPA due to the mishandling of personally identifiable information and financial records.
From a threat intelligence perspective, this vulnerability aligns with ATT&CK technique T1078 Valid Accounts, as it requires initial authentication but exploits weak access controls rather than credential theft. It also relates to T1530 Data from Local System or Remote Database depending on the storage mechanism, and potentially T1213 Data Information Discovery if used systematically to map out organizational structures. The lack of server-side permission checks means that any authenticated user, regardless of their assigned role within the application hierarchy, can access resources reserved for higher-privileged roles such as administrators or finance managers who typically hold the CONTRACT_BUSINESS_TITLE_READ privilege. This horizontal and vertical privilege escalation potential undermines the integrity of the entire security posture of the CordysCRM deployment.
To mitigate this vulnerability, immediate action is required to upgrade the 1Panel-dev CordysCRM installation to version 1.9.2 or later where these authorization checks have been properly implemented. In environments where upgrading is not immediately feasible, temporary mitigations should include implementing a Web Application Firewall rule that restricts access to the POST /field/source/business-title endpoint based on IP whitelisting if possible, although this is less effective than fixing the code itself. Additionally, organizations should conduct an audit of their user roles and permissions to ensure that no unnecessary privileges are granted to low-level users who might attempt such exploits. It is also recommended to implement comprehensive logging and monitoring for API endpoints handling sensitive data to detect anomalous access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. Regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on broken object level authorization flaws will help identify similar vulnerabilities in other parts of the application before they can be exploited by malicious actors.
