Description

Softaculous Virtualizor before 3.2.9 (Patch 9) and 3.0.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the billing module handler that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to modify any tenant's account balance by supplying crafted act and from_billing_module parameters to the admin panel dispatcher. Attackers can send a POST request with arbitrary uid and balance values in the billing_data field to trigger an unauthenticated parameterized UPDATE against the users table, enabling account balance manipulation and potential automated service suspension for targeted accounts.

Technical Analysis

Softaculous Virtualizor versions prior to 3.2.9 (Patch 9) and 3.0.0 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the billing module handler. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a POST request with specially crafted 'act' and 'from_billing_module' parameters along with arbitrary 'uid' and 'balance' values in the 'billing_data' field to the admin panel dispatcher. This triggers an unauthorized parameterized UPDATE query against the users table, enabling modification of any tenant's account balance without authentication.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to arbitrarily modify the account balance of any tenant in the system. This can lead to financial manipulation and potentially automated suspension of services for targeted accounts, impacting availability and trust in the billing system.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the admin panel dispatcher and monitor for suspicious POST requests targeting the billing module handler.
