Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in certain versions of HikCentral Access Control software. It allows authenticated users with low privileges to access API interfaces that their assigned role should not permit them to use.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, review API access logs for unauthorized interface invocations by low-privilege users. Check HikCentral Access Control logs for requests to restricted endpoints. Monitor for unusual privilege escalation attempts in authentication logs.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with low-level access could exploit this to perform unauthorized actions, potentially accessing sensitive data or modifying system settings beyond their intended permissions.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal or sensitive data, violating compliance requirements such as GDPR or HIPAA, which mandate strict access controls and data protection measures.
