CVE-2026-38470Network attack vector

Authenticated account disruption via unchecked API actions

Published Aug 25, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026

Broken access control in the GazellePW API user endpoint allows remote authenticated users to enable or disable arbitrary accounts. The User.php handler accepts req=disable or req=enable and changes the targeted account state without requiring elevated API-token privileges. Any ordinary user-created API token is sufficient, allowing account availability and access state to be altered without broader administrative control.
