Submit #766215: Pangolin (https://pangolin.net/) Pangolin Project (https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin) <=1.15.4 Improper Access Controls

Pangolin (https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin) is an open-source, identity-based remote access platform built on WireGuard that enables secure, seamless connectivity to private and public resources.

The Pangolin version of <= 1.15.4 is vulnerable to a cross-organization privilege escalation. This vulnerability allows an attacker with addUserRole permissions to escalate privileges by assigning arbitrary roles to any user, including themselves, across any organization.

This vulnerability fundamentally collapses Pangolin’s multi-tenant security architecture, enabling attackers to seize unauthorized administrative control across all organizations and leading to massive cross-tenant data breaches and total system compromise.
