Authenticated data disclosure and modification via entity permissions
Published Dec 13, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Improper access control in Siemens Mendix Email Connector before 2.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to read and alter sensitive data. Siemens identifies faulty access control on some module entities but does not disclose the affected entities or the authorization operation that fails. An authenticated Mendix application account assigned the exposed module role is required; the resulting access permits disclosure and modification of sensitive information.
