CVE-2025-21611 Details
Description
tgstation-server is a production scale tool for BYOND server management. Prior to 6.12.3, roles used to authorize API methods were incorrectly OR'd instead of AND'ed with the role used to determine if a user was enabled. This allows enabled users access to most, but not all, authorized actions regardless of their permissions. Notably, the WriteUsers right is unaffected so users may not use this bug to permanently elevate their account permissions. The fix is release in tgstation-server-v6.12.3.
A vulnerability in tgstation-server prior to version 6.12.3 allows enabled users to access most authorized API actions, regardless of their specific permissions. This issue arises because roles for authorizing API methods were incorrectly combined with the user-enabled role, allowing unauthorized access. However, the vulnerability does not affect the WriteUsers permission, preventing permanent elevation of account privileges.
Users should upgrade to tgstation-server version 6.12.3, where this vulnerability has been patched. Instructions for updating can be found in the tgstation-server repository on GitHub.
