Description
WBCE CMS is a content management system. Prior to version 1.6.4, a low-privileged user in WBCE CMS can escalate their privileges to the Administrators group by manipulating the groups[] parameter in the /admin/users/save.php request. The UI restricts users to assigning only their existing group, but server-side validation is missing, allowing attackers to overwrite their group membership and obtain full administrative access. This results in a complete compromise of the CMS. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.4.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in WBCE CMS allows a low-privileged user to escalate their privileges to the Administrators group by manipulating the groups[] parameter in the /admin/users/save.php request. Although the user interface restricts users to assigning only their existing group, the server-side validation is missing, enabling attackers to overwrite their group membership and gain full administrative access, leading to a complete compromise of the CMS. This issue was fixed in version 1.6.4.

Impact Analysis

An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can gain full administrative access to the WBCE CMS, allowing them to control the entire content management system. This can lead to unauthorized changes, data theft, data loss, or complete system compromise.

Mitigation Strategies

The immediate step to mitigate this vulnerability is to upgrade WBCE CMS to version 1.6.4 or later, where the issue has been patched. Until the upgrade is applied, restrict access to the /admin/users/save.php endpoint to trusted users only to prevent exploitation.
