Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: High: There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all information within the Vulnerable System being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 9 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, restrict access to the affected API endpoints and monitor for unauthorized access attempts. Implement additional authorization checks to ensure only admin users can access these management APIs.

Description

OpenIM Server v3.8.3 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows any authenticated user to access admin-only management API endpoints by submitting POST requests with a regular user bearer token to /user/get_users, /user/get_all_users_uid, and /group/get_groups. Attackers can exploit the absent authverify.CheckAdmin() call in the GetPaginationUsers, GetAllUserID, and GetGroups handlers to enumerate all platform user accounts including userIDs, nicknames, and manager level flags, as well as all groups including private groups the user has never joined, exposing group names, owner IDs, and member counts.

Impact

An attacker with any authenticated user credentials can enumerate all platform users and groups, including private groups they are not part of. This exposure of user IDs, nicknames, manager level flags, group names, owner IDs, and member counts can lead to privacy violations and facilitate further targeted attacks or social engineering.

Summary

CVE-2026-69115 describes a missing authorization check in OpenIM Server v3.8.3. Authenticated users can bypass admin restrictions by submitting POST requests with regular user bearer tokens to endpoints /user/get_users, /user/get_all_users_uid, and /group/get_groups. The vulnerability arises from the absence of the authverify.CheckAdmin() call in the GetPaginationUsers, GetAllUserID, and GetGroups handlers, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive user and group data.
