CVE-2026-47227Public exploitNetwork attack vectorHinoki check available

Cross-module category deletion via dead authorization check

Published Aug 12, 2026 · Updated Aug 12, 2026

Incorrect authorization in Admidio before 5.0.10 allows remote authenticated users to delete or reorder categories in other modules. The handler compares the type code against edit, save, and delete mode names, so the record-level isEditable check never runs. Any user with one module-administrator right and a valid session token can modify or destroy empty categories owned by other modules.
