Vulnerability Data

A mass assignment vulnerability exists in the `/api/invite/:code` endpoint of the mintplex-labs/anything-llm repository, allowing unauthorized creation of high-privileged accounts. By intercepting and modifying the HTTP request during the account creation process via an invitation link, an attacker can add a…

`role` property with `admin` value, thereby gaining administrative access. This issue arises due to the lack of property allowlisting and blocklisting, enabling the attacker to exploit the system and perform actions as an administrator.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-3 Access Enforcement good match

Enforces authorizations so that only permitted attributes may be modified on an object.

AC-6 Least Privilege good match

Limits the set of modifiable attributes a subject is authorized to touch.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Validates incoming attribute names and values so that only explicitly allowed fields are accepted for update.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require allow-listing of mutable object attributes and input validation to block mass-assignment flaws.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.28 Secure coding mostly match
prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe dynamic attribute assignment and require property allow-lists.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect mass-assignment flaws but does not itself prevent them at runtime.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle requires input validation and object-property whitelisting that directly mitigates mass-assignment risks.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements include explicit rules for allowable object attributes and safe deserialization.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles mandate strict control over dynamic object modification and attribute binding.

A.8.3 Information access restriction partial match
prevents

Information access restriction limits who can modify objects but does not address which attributes may be changed.
