Description

ZTNET is a ZeroTier web UI for private controllers with multiuser and organization support. Prior to 0.8.0, any authenticated low-privilege user can permanently deactivate another account, including an administrator, through `POST /api/auth/user/invalidateUser`. In `src/pages/api/auth/user/invalidateUser.ts`, `getServerSession` checks only that a session exists and does not compare `session.user.id` with the client-supplied `userId`. Supplying a victim's `userId` and a `deviceId` for which no matching pair exists in `UserDevice` makes the handler set the target account's `isActive` to false. Login is then refused by `src/server/auth.ts` with `account-expired`. An attacker needs only a normal authenticated account and the victim's user ID, which may be obtainable from member lists, UI responses, logs, or other application metadata. This can lock administrators out, disrupt organization management, and deny access to any targeted user. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.0.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in ZTNET allows any authenticated low-privilege user to permanently deactivate another account, including administrators, by sending a POST request to /api/auth/user/invalidateUser. The system fails to verify if the session user matches the target user ID, enabling unauthorized account deactivation.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with a normal account can lock administrators or other users out of the system, disrupt organization management, and deny access to critical users. This could lead to loss of control over the ZeroTier network and operational disruptions.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade ZTNET to version 0.8.0 or later to address the vulnerability. Ensure all user accounts are reviewed for unauthorized deactivations and restore any affected accounts.
