Unauthenticated file disclosure via ID-based downloads
Published Aug 7, 2025 · Updated Aug 8, 2025
Improper authorization in SuiteCRM 7.14.6 and 8.6.0 through 8.8.0 allows remote attackers to read uploaded files via crafted download requests. The download handler maps an attacker-supplied file ID directly to the upload directory and returns the matching file without first enforcing access to its associated record. No authentication or user interaction is required, but the attacker must discover or brute-force a valid file ID, which is usually a UUID; disclosure is limited to files stored in the upload directory.
