CVE-2026-65710: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in nuxsmin sysPass
sysPass through version 3.2.11 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated users with the PUBLICLINK_CREATE profile flag to trigger unauthorized decryption and persistent storage of any vault account's password by exploiting the absence of AccountAcl checks in the public link creation flow. Attackers can invoke the saveCreateFromAccountAction endpoint to cause AccountService::getDataForLink to load arbitrary target accounts without AccountFilterUser restrictions, decrypt credentials using the session master key, and serialize cleartext passwords into Vault storage on the PublicLink database row, enabling subsequent unauthenticated retrieval if the generated link hash is recovered.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-65710 describes a missing authorization vulnerability in sysPass through version 3.2.11. Authenticated users possessing the PUBLICLINK_CREATE profile flag can exploit the lack of AccountAcl checks in the public link creation flow. By invoking the saveCreateFromAccountAction endpoint, attackers cause AccountService::getDataForLink to load arbitrary vault accounts without user-specific filtering. This allows decryption of credentials using the session master key and serialization of cleartext passwords into the Vault storage on the PublicLink database row. If the public link hash is later recovered, it enables unauthenticated retrieval of these passwords, effectively bypassing intended access controls.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated access and the PUBLICLINK_CREATE profile flag can access and decrypt any vault account's password, store it persistently in the public link storage, and potentially allow unauthenticated users to retrieve these passwords if the public link hash is exposed. This compromises the confidentiality of stored credentials within sysPass vaults.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict the PUBLICLINK_CREATE profile flag to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious use of public link creation features. Avoid sharing or exposing public link hashes to prevent unauthorized password retrieval.
