AI-suggested
Upgrade to sysadminsmedia homebox version 0.26.0 or later, where this privilege management vulnerability is fixed. Users should ensure they apply this update to prevent unauthorized inventory deletion. No other mitigations are specified.
Description
HomeBox is a home inventory and organization system. Prior to 0.26.0, HandleWipeInventory in backend/app/api/handlers/v1/v1_ctrl_actions.go authorizes POST /v1/actions/wipe-inventory through the global ctx.User.IsOwner value instead of the caller's role in the active group, while the active group is selected through the X-Tenant request header. Because every self-registered user who creates a group receives the global owner value, a user who is also a member of another group can select that group with X-Tenant and permanently delete its complete inventory, which is not recoverable without external backups. This issue is fixed in version 0.26.0.
