CVE-2026-85392 Details
Description
Peppermint through 0.5.5 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the GET /api/v1/auth/user/:id/logout endpoint that allows authenticated attackers to delete sessions for any user by supplying arbitrary user IDs. Attackers can forcibly log out any user including administrators by calling the logout handler with another user's ID, since the endpoint performs no authorization checks to verify the caller owns the target account.
An authorization bypass vulnerability has been identified in Peppermint versions through 0.5.5. The issue resides in the GET /api/v1/auth/user/:id/logout endpoint, where authenticated users can delete sessions for any user by providing arbitrary user IDs. This vulnerability allows attackers to forcibly log out any user, including administrators, as the endpoint lacks authorization checks to verify ownership of the target account. User IDs can be easily obtained from the /api/v1/users/all endpoint, which is accessible to all authenticated users, or from JWT payloads and ticket responses.
To address this vulnerability, implement a check to ensure that the user ID in the request matches the ID of the authenticated user. Alternatively, require administrative privileges to log out other users.
