Summary
Grav: Missing admin.super guard on core group blueprint access field allows admin.users operator to escalate to super-admin
Details

Summary

The core Flex group blueprint system/blueprints/user/group.yaml (access field, lines 48-55) omits the security@: admin.super field guard that its sibling account blueprint carries (account.yaml:131/138/150, added by the CVE-2026-42613 fix). A delegated non-super operator holding admin.users.update can therefore save a group whose access map contains admin.super: true, which UserGroupObject::authorize then grants to every member of that group, a full privilege escalation to super-admin (scheduler/cron RCE, Twig eval). This is a distinct file, sink, and fix from all four related advisories.

Root Cause

The CVE-2026-42613 fix protected the account access/groups fields with a blueprint-level security@: admin.super gate, which Blueprint::dynamicSecurity() (system/src/Grav/Common/Data/Blueprint.php:644-662) uses to mark a field validate.ignore=true for non-super users so BlueprintSchema::filterArray() (BlueprintSchema.php:263-311) drops it. The functionally-identical group access field, a permission map granted to every member of the group, is declared in system/blueprints/user/group.yaml:48-55 with check_authorize: false and NO security@ guard. check_authorize has ZERO PHP enforcement (grep -rn check_authorize across the repo returns 0 PHP consumers; only two YAML blueprints reference it), so security@ is the sole real control. Because the group access field lacks security@, dynamicSecurity never flags it, filterArray retains it, and Validation::filterArray (type: array, value_type: bool) passes the nested admin.super:true leaf through. The core save path (FlexObject::update() then Framework/Flex/FlexObject.php:683 $blueprint->filter($data,true,true) then save()) persists it to user://config/groups.yaml.

Impact

A delegated admin.users operator (strictly below admin.super) escalates to super-admin, gaining the admin panel, the scheduler (cron to RCE) and Twig evaluation. Full read/write/DoS (C:H/I:H/A:H). Even absent self-escalation, arbitrary rewrite of ANY group's ACL is itself a full escalation primitive.

Proof of Concept

As a non-super admin.users operator who is a member of group ops:

POST /admin/accounts/groups/ops   (or groups.json task:save)
data[access][admin][super]=1

user/config/groups.yaml gains ops: { access: { admin: { super: true } } }, so the operator is super-admin on the next request.

Attack Chain

  1. Entry: authenticated delegated admin (admin.users.update, no admin.super) POSTs the group-edit form for a group they belong to (or a new group), body access[admin][super]=true. Guard: FlexAuthorizeTrait::isAuthorizedAction to admin.users.update. Bypass proof: user-groups.yaml exposes groups at admin.users:crudl; operator legitimately holds update.
  2. Check (field guard): Blueprint::dynamicSecurity marks validate.ignore only for security@ fields. Guard: none on group access (no security@). Bypass proof: group.yaml:48-55 has no security@; git log -S 'security@' -- system/blueprints/user/group.yaml is empty.
  3. Filter: BlueprintSchema::filterArray retains the non-ignored field; Validation::filterArray (value_type: bool) passes admin.super:true through. Bypass proof: field not flagged ignore/disabled; nested bool leaf preserved.
  4. Sink (persist): FlexObject::update then filter then save writes to user://config/groups.yaml. Guard: none. Bypass proof: value already survived steps 2/3; storage performs no ACL filtering.
  5. Impact: any member request triggers UserGroupObject::authorize('admin.super') (.../UserGroups/UserGroupObject.php:75) returning true, so the member is super-admin, enabling scheduler/Twig RCE.

Bypass Evidence

  • system/blueprints/user/group.yaml:48-55: access block with check_authorize: false, no security@ (confirmed live on tag 2.0.12).
  • git log -S 'security@' -- system/blueprints/user/group.yaml is empty (guard never existed; a permanent gap, not a regression).
  • git log 2.0.12..HEAD -- system/blueprints/user/group.yaml is empty (no post-release fix).
  • grep -rn check_authorize (whole repo) returns 0 PHP hits (guard unenforced in PHP).
  • grep -rn "typePermissions|filterPermissions" system/src/Grav/Common/Data returns 0 (permissions map falls through to array-bool filtering that keeps nested keys).
  • Guard asymmetry: account.yaml:131/138/150 carry security@: admin.super; group.yaml carries none. GHSA-h33v-82r9-v8pm's own text confirms the blueprint security@ gate is the sole Flex-backend strip for these keys.

Affected Versions

<= 2.0.12 (latest release; the guard never existed on group.yaml, so all 2.x are affected). The missing guard and the strip logic are both in core getgrav/grav; the group-edit UI is provided by the flex-objects/admin plugin, but the fix belongs in core.

Suggested Fix

Add security@: admin.super to the access field in system/blueprints/user/group.yaml (mirroring account.yaml), and/or enforce a super-only strip on group ACL saves in core so all callers are covered.

An unnecessary privilege vulnerability in Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security 10.0 SP1 could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability is similar to but not identical to CVE-2021-44019 and 44020.

GHSA-XJ3M-FX7F-HQMH

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-27 03:30 – Updated: 2026-04-27 03:30
VLAI
Details

The Highland Software Custom Role Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to and including 1.0.0. This is due to insufficient authorization checks in the hscrm_save_user_roles() function, which is hooked to the personal_options_update action accessible by any authenticated user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access or higher, to potentially modify user roles via the profile update form.

Severity
8.8 (High)

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-48
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.

Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.

CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse

An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.

CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation

An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.

CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation

An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
