Authenticated privilege escalation via user-creation API tampering
Published Jul 31, 2025 · Updated Jul 31, 2025
Incorrect access control in ExaGrid EX10 6.3 through 7.0.1.P08 allows remote authenticated users to create Security Officer accounts. The user-creation API accepts a POST to /api/v1/sites/{uuid}/users with the client-supplied group set to exagrid-sec-offs without enforcing the approval boundary. A valid JSESSIONIDSSO cookie and site UUID are required; successful abuse grants control over backup operations, users, and encryption settings.
