Subscriber privilege escalation via unprotected AJAX routes
Published Jun 27, 2023 · Updated Dec 3, 2024
Missing authorization in KiviCare before 3.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to create privileged clinic accounts through AJAX. The ajax_post dispatcher accepts attacker-controlled route_name values for setup_clinic_admin and settings actions without enforcing capability checks. Subscriber access is sufficient to add clinic staff or alter configuration, including storing script payloads that execute when an administrator views affected settings.
