CVE-2025-10989Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated privilege escalation via unchecked role assignment

Published Sep 26, 2025 · Updated Sep 26, 2025

Improper authorization in RuoYi 4.8.0 and 4.8.1 allows remote authenticated users to assign roles to arbitrary user accounts. The selectAuthUserAll handler validates the selected role's data scope but passes attacker-controlled userIds directly to insertAuthUsers without checking each target user's data scope. Access requires the system:role:edit permission; successful exploitation changes another account's assigned privileges, including elevation through a more powerful role.
