CVE-2021-25973
Date: November 2, 2021
Overview
In Publify, 9.0.0.pre1 to 9.2.4 are vulnerable to Improper Access Control. “guest” role users can self-register even when the admin does not allow it. This happens due to front-end restriction only.Details
It is possible for a user to sign up with a “guest” privilege user, by browsing the signup url even after the admin disables a user to self-register themselves.PoC Details
Login to the application as admin. Go to the “/settings/index” endpoint and disable the feature which allows a user to self register.In incognito mode, browse to the sign up endpoint, and try to sign up with a user. We see that an external user is still able to create an account even when the feature is disabled by the admin.
