Administrator account takeover via missing endpoint authorization
Published Feb 8, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Broken access control in DataEase 1.6.1 allows remote authenticated users to read all user records and reset the administrator password. The /api/user/userGrid/1/10 and /api/user/adminUpdatePwd endpoints accept an ordinary user's authorization token without enforcing administrator privileges. Any valid account can enumerate users and replace the administrator password, enabling administrator account takeover.
