CVE-2026-79411 Details
Description
Incorrect privilege assignment in the admin user-management component of Webkul Bagisto 2.4.9 allows an authenticated backend user holding only the settings.users.edit permission to escalate to full administrator. The user-update endpoint (route admin.settings.users.update, UserController::update()) does not verify that the actor is permitted to grant the requested role, does not prevent a user from changing their own role, and does not restrict assignment to roles whose permission set is a subset of the actor's own. By submitting a request that sets role_id to the Administrator role for their own account, a low-privileged administrator gains every admin-panel capability, including store configuration, payment gateway credentials, and customer PII.
A vulnerability in the admin user-management feature of Webkul Bagisto versions 2.4.9 and 2.4.10 allows authenticated backend users with the 'settings.users.edit' permission to escalate their privileges to full administrator. The issue arises because the user-update endpoint does not properly verify role assignment permissions, allowing users to change their own roles to Administrator. This unauthorized access grants them complete control over the admin panel, including sensitive store and customer information.
Webkul Bagisto users should treat the 'settings.users.edit' permission as equivalent to full administrative rights until a patch is released. After the patch, audit the 'admins' table for any unauthorized role changes.
