Privilege escalation in easyappointments

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 11, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Feb 1, 2023

Package

composer alextselegidis/easyappointments (Composer)

Affected versions

<= 1.4.3

Patched versions

None

Description

The Easy!Appointments API authorization is checked against the user's existence, without validating the permissions. As a result, a low privileged user (eg. provider) can create a new admin user via the "/api/v1/admins/" endpoint and take over the system. A patch is available on the develop branch of the repository.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
