Assigner: Canonical Ltd.

Description
An Improper Input Validation vulnerability exists in the user websocket handler of MAAS. An authenticated, unprivileged attacker can intercept a user.update websocket request and inject the is_superuser property set to true. The server improperly validates this input, allowing the attacker to self-promote to an administrator role. This results in full administrative control over the MAAS deployment.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is an Improper Input Validation issue in the user websocket handler of MAAS. An authenticated but unprivileged attacker can intercept a user.update websocket request and inject the is_superuser property set to true. Because the server does not properly validate this input, the attacker can escalate their privileges and gain full administrative control over the MAAS deployment.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability allows an attacker with limited privileges to escalate their access to full administrative control over the MAAS deployment. This means the attacker can manage, modify, or disrupt the entire system, potentially leading to unauthorized changes, data exposure, or service disruption.
