CVE-2024-0795Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Manager-to-Administrator escalation via unchecked role assignment

Published Mar 2, 2024 · Updated Aug 15, 2024

Improper access control in AnythingLLM before 1.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to gain administrator access through the user API. The user-creation backend accepts an admin role from a manager-authorized request without enforcing the role hierarchy. Multi-user mode is Docker-only, and exploitation requires an existing manager session; a successful request creates a new administrator account.
