CVE-2026-63100 Details
Description
Maybe through 0.6.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated low-privilege member-role users to access and modify global hosting settings by exploiting unprotected show and update actions in the Settings::HostingsController, where the before_action ensure_admin filter is applied only to the clear_cache action. Attackers can read the operator's Synth API key rendered in plaintext via a form field value attribute, overwrite it with an attacker-controlled value, toggle public registration settings, and disable email confirmation requirements to disrupt the entire instance.
A missing authorization vulnerability has been identified in Maybe self-hosted deployments, all versions through 0.6.0. This vulnerability allows authenticated low-privilege member-role users to access and modify global hosting settings. The issue arises in the Settings::HostingsController, where the 'show' and 'update' actions are unprotected, leaving them open to any authenticated user. The 'ensure_admin' filter is only applied to the 'clear_cache' action, creating a loophole that member users can exploit. Affected users can read the operator's Synth API key in plaintext from a form field, overwrite it with a value of their choice, and manipulate other settings to disrupt the instance.
