Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-27 18:32 – Updated: 2026-08-27 18:32

Details

Affected versions of Flowintel contain an authorization flaw in the administrative user-edit API.

The existing authorization check correctly prevented an organization administrator from editing users in another organization, but it did not prevent them from editing a full administrator within their own organization. As a result, an org admin could modify that full administrator account, including changing its password. The upstream commit explicitly describes the issue as:

“Org admin can change the password of a full admin in the same organization.”

The fix adds a higher-privilege boundary check:

if user_to_edit.is_admin(): return ... 403

so organization administrators can no longer modify full administrator accounts.

Version impacted >=3.3.0

Severity

8.6 (High)
