CVE-2026-40349
Published:April 18, 2026
Updated:April 23, 2026
Movary is a self hosted web app to track and rate a user's watched movies. Prior to version 0.71.1, an ordinary authenticated user can escalate their own account to administrator by sending "isAdmin=true" to "PUT /settings/users/{userId}" for their own user ID. The endpoint is intended to let a user edit their own profile, but it updates the sensitive "isAdmin" field without any admin-only authorization check. Version 0.71.1 patches the issue.
