Authenticated admin takeover via unchecked password update
Published Jan 29, 2026 · Updated Jan 29, 2026
Authentication bypass in Elektraweb EasyPMS 1.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to take over HotelOwner accounts via JSON requests. The /Select/STDUSER path passes an attacker-controlled Column value into a SQL WHERE clause, and the update path writes PASSWORD without validating LoginToken. Any low-privileged account with STDUSER write access can reset a HotelOwner password and obtain administrative access.
