Administrator takeover via member-to-user password synchronization
Published Aug 24, 2026 · Updated Aug 24, 2026
Improper authorization in Dolibarr ERP & CRM before 24.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to reset any account password. The Members REST API copies attacker-controlled user and password values into a member object, then synchronizes them to the linked user without checking password-change rights. A caller needs only an API key with create-members permission; targeting the administrator overwrites its credentials and grants full instance control.
