CVE-2026-108882 in JeecgBoot
Summary
by MITRE • 10/11/2026
JeecgBoot through 3.9.5 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the SysPositionController removeUserPosition handler that allows any authenticated user to remove position members. Low-privileged attackers can send DELETE requests with arbitrary userIds and positionId values to delete sys_user_position rows, detaching users from positions without logging.

The identified security flaw resides within the JeecgBoot framework version 3.9.5, specifically targeting the SysPositionController component. This vulnerability is classified as a broken access control issue where the application fails to enforce proper authorization policies on critical administrative functions. The core of the problem lies in the removeUserPosition handler method, which processes requests intended for managing user assignments within organizational positions. In a secure implementation, such operations should be restricted to users with specific elevated privileges or require explicit verification that the requester has authority over both the target position and the affected user accounts. However, due to insufficient validation logic, the system accepts these commands from any authenticated session regardless of the caller's role or relationship to the data being modified.
From a technical perspective, this vulnerability manifests as an insecure direct object reference combined with missing function-level access control. Attackers who have obtained valid authentication credentials can interact directly with the underlying API endpoints by crafting HTTP DELETE requests. By supplying arbitrary userId and positionId parameters in the request payload or URL structure, these attackers can manipulate database records without triggering any authorization checks. The application processes these inputs blindly, leading to the deletion of rows in the sys_user_position table. This mechanism effectively detaches users from their designated positions within the system's logical hierarchy, bypassing all intended security boundaries that should prevent unauthorized structural changes.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is significant for organizations relying on JeecgBoot for role-based access control and organizational management. Since low-privileged attackers can execute these actions, they can disrupt business operations by removing key personnel from critical positions or altering reporting structures without detection. The absence of logging mechanisms exacerbates the risk, as security teams may remain unaware that unauthorized modifications have occurred until operational anomalies are noticed. This lack of audit trails means that forensic analysis becomes difficult, and incident response is delayed because there is no record in standard logs to indicate which user account performed the deletion or what specific data was altered.
This vulnerability aligns with CWE-269, Improper Privilege Control, as it allows a lower-privileged actor to perform actions reserved for higher-privileged roles. It also corresponds to CWE-862, Missing Authorization, because the application does not verify whether the authenticated user has permission to execute the specific function being invoked. In terms of offensive security frameworks, this behavior is consistent with MITRE ATT&CK technique T1078, Valid Accounts, where attackers leverage legitimate credentials to access resources they should not have permissions for. The ability to modify structural data without logging also touches upon aspects of T1562, Impair Defenses, by obscuring the attacker's activities from standard monitoring tools.
To mitigate this vulnerability, developers must implement strict role-based access control checks within the SysPositionController removeUserPosition handler before any database operations are executed. The application should verify that the authenticated user possesses administrative privileges or specific permissions related to position management for both the target position and the affected users. Additionally, implementing comprehensive audit logging is essential to ensure that all changes to organizational structures are recorded with details such as the initiator's identity, timestamp, and the specific data modified. Regular security code reviews focusing on access control logic in controller methods can help prevent similar issues from being introduced during future development cycles.
