CVE-2026-54677: CWE-862: Missing Authorization in Erudika scoold
CVE-2026-54677 is a missing authorization vulnerability in Erudika's Scoold platform prior to version 1.69.0. Authenticated users who are not members of a private space can create replies and comments in questions belonging to that private space without proper authorization checks. This allows unauthorized modification of private discussions and can reveal metadata or existence of private activity through notifications. The issue is fixed in version 1.69.0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
In Scoold versions before 1.69.0, the authorization check 'canAccessSpace' is not applied in the endpoints handling replies and comments (QuestionController.reply() and CommentController.createAjax()). When the configuration 'scoold.is_default_space_public' is set to false and private spaces are used, authenticated users with valid sessions can post replies and comments to questions in private spaces they do not have access to by sending POST requests to /question/{id} and /comment. This results in unauthorized content creation in private threads and may trigger notifications that disclose private activity metadata. The vulnerability is addressed in version 1.69.0.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized users to modify private discussions by adding replies and comments in private spaces they cannot access. While it does not disclose content directly, it can reveal the existence or metadata of private activity through notifications. The integrity of private discussions is compromised, but confidentiality of existing content is not directly affected.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade to Scoold version 1.69.0 or later, where this authorization issue is fixed. No other specific mitigations are indicated. Patch status is confirmed fixed in 1.69.0.
