Privilege escalation via unauthorized showUser endpoint access

Published May 3, 2024 · Updated Sep 18, 2024

Improper authorization in D-Link D-View 8 2.0.1.27 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges. The showUser method accesses a privileged endpoint without verifying that the authenticated account is authorized for the requested resources. A low-privileged account can reach resources normally restricted to higher-privileged users, with no user interaction.
