Executive Summary

CVE-2025-11580 is an authorization vulnerability in PowerJob versions up to 5.1.2 affecting the /user/list endpoint. Due to missing authorization checks, unauthenticated users can remotely access this endpoint and retrieve the entire user list. This happens because the method handling this endpoint lacks proper access control annotations and checks, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive user information. [1, 2, 3]

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by sending an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to the /user/list endpoint of the PowerJob server and checking if the user list is returned without authentication. For example, you can use the following command to test this: curl -X GET http://<target-ip-or-domain>/user/list If the response contains user information without requiring authentication headers, the system is vulnerable.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation involves enforcing proper authorization on the /user/list endpoint. Specifically, adding authorization checks such as the @ApiPermission annotation to restrict access to authenticated and authorized users only. If patching is not immediately possible, consider restricting external access to the affected endpoint via network controls or firewall rules until an update is applied. [1]
