CVE-2026-112294 in FlyCms
Summary
by MITRE • 10/19/2026
FlyCms through commit edfdf724 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in ActionService.counter() that allows authenticated users to modify other users' content rows because checkRowOwner never verifies ownership. Any registered user can send requests to /ucenter/action/{modelCode}/{id}/counter or /ucenter/action/compose to add arbitrary deltas to numeric fields like price, stock, or points.

The vulnerability identified in FlyCms prior to commit edfdf724 represents a critical failure in access control mechanisms within the ActionService component. Specifically, the method counter() lacks proper authorization checks when processing requests intended to update numerical attributes of content rows. This flaw stems from the checkRowOwner function which is designed to verify that the requesting user owns the specific resource being modified but fails to perform this verification effectively. As a result, the application does not enforce identity-based access controls correctly, allowing any authenticated user to bypass ownership restrictions and alter data belonging to other users.
From a technical perspective, the exploitation vector involves sending HTTP requests to endpoints such as /ucenter/action/{modelCode}/{id}/counter or /ucenter/action/compose. These endpoints accept arbitrary delta values for numeric fields including price, stock levels, and user points. Because the server-side logic does not validate whether the authenticated session corresponds to the owner of the target record, an attacker can manipulate these parameters to increment or decrement values on behalf of other accounts. This constitutes a classic Broken Access Control issue where the application relies solely on client-supplied identifiers without cross-referencing them against authoritative ownership records stored in the database.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe and multifaceted. For e-commerce applications utilizing FlyCms, attackers can artificially inflate stock levels to create false scarcity or deplete inventory for competitors. In user-centric platforms, malicious actors can transfer points, credits, or virtual currency from one account to another, leading to significant financial loss and erosion of trust among the user base. Furthermore, modifying price fields could disrupt pricing integrity, potentially causing revenue leakage if prices are lowered arbitrarily or creating customer service issues if inflated incorrectly. The ability to modify arbitrary numeric fields also opens avenues for further exploitation depending on how downstream systems interpret these values, such as triggering unintended business logic flows based on corrupted data states.
This vulnerability aligns with CWE-269 Improper Privilege Management and more specifically CWE-862 Missing Authorization which describes a situation where an actor is able to access or perform actions without having the appropriate permissions. In terms of offensive security frameworks, this behavior maps directly to MITRE ATT&CK technique T1078 Valid Accounts as it requires authentication but exploits misconfigured privileges, and potentially T1496 Resource Hijacking if used for computational abuse or financial fraud through point manipulation. The lack of server-side validation against a canonical source of truth regarding resource ownership is the root cause that enables this unauthorized modification capability.
To mitigate this vulnerability, developers must implement robust authorization checks within the ActionService.counter() method before any data mutation occurs. This involves querying the database to confirm that the user ID associated with the current session matches the owner ID stored in the target record's metadata. Additionally, implementing role-based access control policies can provide an additional layer of defense by restricting who is permitted to perform counter operations on specific resource types. It is also advisable to introduce rate limiting and anomaly detection mechanisms to identify unusual patterns of delta submissions that may indicate automated exploitation attempts. Regular security audits focusing on object-level permissions are essential to ensure that all endpoints adhere to the principle of least privilege, ensuring users can only interact with resources they explicitly own or have been granted permission to modify.
