CVE-2026-40480 Details
Description
ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. In versions prior to 7.2.0, the GET /api/person/{personId} endpoint loads and returns person records without performing object-level authorization checks. Although the legacy PersonView.php page enforces canEditPerson() restrictions, the API layer omits this check. Any authenticated user with only EditSelf privileges can enumerate and read other members' records, exposing sensitive PII including names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. This issue has been fixed in version 7.2.0.
A vulnerability exists in ChurchCRM, an open-source church management system, in versions prior to 7.2.0. The issue is located in the GET /api/person/{personId} endpoint, which retrieves person records without proper authorization checks. This oversight allows authenticated users with only EditSelf privileges to access and read records of other members, exposing sensitive personal information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. The vulnerability arises because the API layer fails to enforce object-level authorization, a check that is present in the legacy PersonView.php page.
Users can update to ChurchCRM version 7.2.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
