Administrator escalation via unchecked role update
Published Mar 3, 2025 · Updated Mar 5, 2025
Broken access control in the Cubro EXA48200 web GUI build 20231025055018 allows remote authenticated users to gain administrator privileges. The /api/user/users endpoint accepts rolename=Administrator in a normal account-update HTTP PUT request without enforcing the caller's current role. Any low-privileged application account can thereby modify other users' passwords and fully compromise the web application.
