CVE-2026-4514 Details
Description
A flaw has been found in PbootCMS up to 3.2.12. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file apps/admin/controller/system/UserController.php of the component Backend. Executing a manipulation of the argument Field can lead to improper access controls. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been published and may be used.
A vulnerability exists in PbootCMS versions through 3.2.12, specifically within the Backend component's UserController.php file. The issue arises from a feature that allows arbitrary modification of user fields via 'field' and 'value' parameters. This lack of proper validation enables lower-privileged administrators to alter sensitive information, such as password hashes, for other admin accounts. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, and a public exploit is available.
It is recommended to avoid accepting arbitrary field names from user input, to enforce strict allowlists of editable attributes, and to apply thorough authorization checks at both the object and field levels.
