CVE-2026-40350: CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization in leepeuker movary
Movary is a self hosted web app to track and rate a user's watched movies. Prior to version 0.71.1, an ordinary authenticated user can access the user-management endpoints `/settings/users` and use them to enumerate all users and create a new administrator account. This happens because the route definitions do not enforce admin-only middleware, and the controller-level authorization check uses a broken boolean condition. As a result, any user with a valid web session cookie can reach functionality that should be restricted to administrators. Version 0.71.1 patches the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Movary, a self-hosted movie tracking web app, has an incorrect authorization vulnerability (CWE-863) in versions before 0.71.1. The vulnerability exists because the user-management endpoints `/settings/users` do not enforce admin-only middleware, and the controller-level authorization uses a broken boolean condition. This allows any authenticated user to enumerate users and create new admin accounts, bypassing intended access controls. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, indicating high severity. Version 0.71.1 includes a patch that fixes this issue.
Potential Impact
An attacker with a valid authenticated session can access administrative functions, including enumerating all users and creating new administrator accounts. This leads to full compromise of the application’s user management and potentially the entire system, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade movary to version 0.71.1 or later, where the authorization flaw is patched. No other mitigation is indicated or recommended since the fix is available in the official release.
