CVE-2025-26369Network attack vector

Authenticated privilege escalation via unchecked group updates

Published Feb 12, 2025 · Updated Feb 17, 2025

Missing authorization in Q-Free MAXTIME Suite 2.11.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to add privileges to user groups. The HTTP routes in maxprofile/user-groups/routes.lua accept crafted group-privilege changes without verifying that the requesting account is authorized to make them. Low-privileged access to the management web application is sufficient to escalate the account's own access rights through modified group permissions.
