CVE-2026-65709: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in nuxsmin sysPass
sysPass through version 3.2.11 contains a missing object-level authorization vulnerability in the JSON-RPC API that allows API token holders to enumerate account metadata, overwrite passwords, and delete accounts across the entire vault without per-account access control. Attackers can invoke AccountController methods such as viewAction, editAction, deleteAction, and editPassAction without AccountFilterUser checks to modify or delete accounts beyond the scope of their assigned token permissions.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-65709 is a high-severity authorization bypass vulnerability in sysPass through version 3.2.11. The JSON-RPC API lacks object-level authorization checks, permitting API token holders to invoke AccountController methods (viewAction, editAction, deleteAction, editPassAction) without AccountFilterUser validation. This enables attackers to enumerate account metadata, overwrite passwords, and delete accounts beyond their authorized scope, compromising the confidentiality and integrity of the vault's stored accounts.
Potential Impact
An attacker with an API token having limited privileges can escalate their access to perform unauthorized actions on all accounts in the vault. This includes viewing sensitive metadata, changing passwords, and deleting accounts, leading to potential full compromise of the vault's contents. The vulnerability severely undermines access control mechanisms and could result in significant data loss or unauthorized data exposure.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict API token issuance and usage to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
