Unauthorized account creation via misapplied administrator settings
Published Aug 15, 2024 · Updated Aug 19, 2024
Incorrect privilege assignment in Deltablot eLabFTW 4.4.0 and later before 5.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to create validated team accounts. The account-creation authorization logic applies administrator user-creation settings to ordinary-user requests instead of enforcing the caller role. Anonymous access, when enabled, removes the authentication gate and permits account creation in any team; created accounts gain no additional privileges.
