CVE-2026-53911Network attack vector

Authenticated record overwrite via primary-key mass assignment

Published Jun 11, 2026 · Updated Jun 11, 2026

Mass assignment in Cerebrate before 1.37.0 allows remote authenticated users to overwrite unrelated records through crafted edit requests. The edit flow marshals request data with a caller-supplied id and saves that entity without consistently making the primary key inaccessible, so the supplied key redirects the update away from the route-selected record. Any authenticated account able to reach UserSettings edit functionality can modify another UserSetting record; other affected endpoints expose same-entity writes according to endpoint permissions.
