CVE-2026-42540 Details
Description
IRIS is a web collaborative platform that helps incident responders share technical details during investigations. Versions prior to 2.4.28 allow a user to alter values in the database via manipulated API requests. Version 2.4.28 contains a patch.
A mass assignment vulnerability has been identified in the IRIS web application, versions prior to 2.4.28. This vulnerability allows users to manipulate database values through altered API requests. The issue arises because the application does not properly restrict which fields can be modified, enabling unauthorized changes to sensitive information such as user account details and asset type IDs.
Users are advised to update to IRIS version 2.4.28 or later. The application should implement proper validation to restrict writable fields to a predefined set, potentially using allowlists or Data Transfer Objects to prevent mass assignment attacks.
