CVE-2023-5353Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated data access and modification via undisclosed authorization

Published Oct 3, 2023 · Updated Sep 12, 2024

Improper access control in SuiteCRM before 7.14.1 allows remote authenticated users to read or alter CRM data through network requests. The public advisory and release notes do not identify the affected endpoint, authorization check, or incorrect operation on request data. A valid low-privilege account is required; published assessments bound the impact to unauthorized data access, while the CNA also records data modification.
