GHSA-GV8P-48FR-4FXG
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-04 19:23 – Updated: 2026-06-04 19:23Summary
A non-admin API user with integration:create ACL privilege can escalate to full administrator by creating an integration with admin: true through the Sync API (POST /api/_action/sync). The regular integration endpoint (POST /api/integration) correctly blocks this, but the Sync API bypasses the controller-level check by writing directly through the DAL EntityWriter. The integration entity definition lacks WriteProtection, and the admin field has no field-level restriction flag.
OWASP: A01:2021 — Broken Access Control
Root Cause
IntegrationController::upsertIntegration() checks $source->isAdmin() before allowing the admin field to be set. However, SyncController::sync() routes writes through SyncService → EntityWriter, which only applies:
AclWriteValidator— checks entity-level ACL (integration:createis sufficient)EntityProtectionValidator— checksWriteProtectionon entity definitions, butIntegrationDefinitionhas none
The admin field in IntegrationDefinition is a plain BoolField with no WriteProtection or special flag. The Sync API writes it without restriction.
Vulnerable code path:
- src/Core/Framework/Api/Controller/SyncController.php → SyncService → EntityWriter::upsert()
- Missing protection: src/Core/Framework/Integration/IntegrationDefinition.php — admin field has no WriteProtection(Context::SYSTEM_SCOPE)
Working protection (bypassed):
- src/Core/Framework/Integration/IntegrationController.php:46-56 — isAdmin() check only applies to the dedicated controller endpoint
Impact
- Complete admin API access — the escalated integration has full read/write on every entity: users, customers, orders, system configuration, integrations, plugins
- PII exfiltration — read all customer records (names, emails, addresses, order history)
- Persistent backdoor — the admin integration survives password changes and user deactivation
Remediation
Add WriteProtection(Context::SYSTEM_SCOPE) to IntegrationDefinition, matching how UserDefinition and AclRoleDefinition are already protected:
// src/Core/Framework/Integration/IntegrationDefinition.php
(new BoolField('admin', 'admin'))
->addFlags(new WriteProtection(Context::SYSTEM_SCOPE)),

}
Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
