CVE-2026-61745 Details
Description
InvenTree is an Open Source Inventory Management System. Prior to 1.4.0, the POST /api/machine/{pk}/restart/ endpoint in src/backend/InvenTree/machine/api.py uses IsAuthenticatedOrReadScope without requiring the ADMIN role used by other machine management operations. Any authenticated user who lacks the ADMIN role, including a warehouse user with only the STOCK role, can cause MachineRestart to invoke registry.restart_machine() for any registered machine, resetting its status and interrupting active printing, scanning, or other machine operations. This issue is fixed in version 1.4.0.
A vulnerability exists in InvenTree's machine management API, specifically in versions through 1.3.5. The issue arises in the POST /api/machine/{pk}/restart/ endpoint, which improperly uses the IsAuthenticatedOrReadScope permission. Unlike other machine management operations that require ADMIN privileges, this endpoint allows any authenticated user, including those with the STOCK role, to restart registered machines. This action interrupts active printing or scanning tasks. The vulnerability is rooted in the lack of an ADMIN role requirement for the restart operation, which is present in other machine management functions.
Users should update to InvenTree version 1.4.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed by requiring staff permissions to restart machines via the API.
