AI-suggested
Upgrade the Flex Objects plugin to version 1.4.7 or later, where this authorization vulnerability is fixed. If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to users with the affected permissions and monitor for suspicious activity related to the Flex Objects API endpoints. Patch status is confirmed fixed in Flex Objects 1.4.7.
Description
The Flex Objects plugin (through 1.4.6, tested with Grav 2.0.11) contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in its Flex Objects API. FlexApiController::update() checks only the general Flex directory permission and does not apply the additional target/field/super-admin checks enforced by the dedicated Users and Groups API controllers. An authenticated account with api.access, admin.login, and users.update permissions (but without api.users.write or admin.super) can use the generic /api/v1/flex-objects/user-accounts endpoint to change a super administrator's password, or the /api/v1/flex-objects/user-groups endpoint to grant its group admin.super, resulting in full site takeover. Fixed in Flex Objects 1.4.7.
