CVE-2026-81729Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Authenticated document deletion via read-only authorization

Published Aug 27, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026

Incorrect authorization in Dolibarr ERP & CRM before 23.0.4 allows remote authenticated users to delete stored documents through the REST API. Documents::delete() passes 'read' rather than 'write' to dol_check_secure_access_document(), so read permission satisfies a check guarding a destructive operation. Any API user with read-only rights to a document-bearing module can permanently remove its files, including generated PDFs, without create, write, delete, or administrator rights.
