Vulnerability Data

A vulnerability in mintplex-labs/anything-llm allows users with manager roles to escalate their privileges to admin roles through a mass assignment issue. The '/admin/system-preferences' API endpoint improperly authorizes manager-level users to modify the 'multi_user_mode' system variable, enabling them to access the…

more

'/api/system/enable-multi-user' endpoint and create a new admin user. This issue results from the endpoint accepting a full JSON object in the request body without proper validation of modifiable fields, leading to unauthorized modification of system settings and subsequent privilege escalation.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

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

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

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

prevents

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

prevents

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

finds

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

prevents

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

prevents

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

prevents

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

prevents

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