What to do
AI-suggested
European organizations should immediately audit their Terminalfour CMS installations to identify affected versions (8 through 8.4.1.1). Until an official patch is released, implement strict network-level access controls to limit access to the user management interface only to trusted administrators. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block unauthorized modifications of the userLevel parameter. Monitor logs for unusual privilege escalation attempts or password changes. Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrative accounts to reduce the impact of compromised credentials. Regularly back up CMS data and configurations to enable rapid recovery. Engage with the vendor for timelines on patch availability and apply updates immediately upon release. Additionally, conduct user privilege reviews to minimize the number of Power Users and restrict their capabilities where possible.
Description
In Terminalfour 8 through 8.4.1.1, the userLevel parameter in the user management function is not subject to proper server-side authorization checks. A Power User can intercept and modify this parameter to assign the Administrator role to other existing lower-privileged accounts, or invite a new lower-privileged account and escalate its privileges. While manipulating this request, the Power User can also change the target account's password, effectively taking full control of it.
