| Titel | Openboxes v0.9.7 Server-Side Request Forgery |
|---|
| Beschreibung | A Privilege Escalation vulnerability exists in OpenBoxes versions v0.9.7 and earlier. An authenticated user with Manager privileges (a non-administrative role) can exploit improper role-based access control in the `user/save` and `user/update` endpoints to create new users and assign them `ROLE_ADMIN`. Due to missing authorization checks in `RoleInterceptor.groovy` and a lack of role assignment validation in `UserController.groovy`, Manager users can escalate their privileges to full administrator access. Successful exploitation allows attackers to create persistent administrator accounts, gain unrestricted access to system data and configuration, and fully compromise the application.
This vulnerability was fixed in OpenBoxes v0.9.8.
