Unauthenticated database writes via deleteAttachment type confusion
Published Nov 6, 2025 · Updated Jul 15, 2026
Type confusion in SuiteCRM before 7.12.6 allows remote attackers to alter database records through the deleteAttachment entry point. The entry point accepts unauthenticated requests and passes the attacker-controlled module name and record identifier to BeanFactory::getBean before clearing the requested field and saving the bean. No account is required; selecting the Users module, an administrator record, and its email field changes that administrator's email address.
