AI-suggested

Upgrade Semaphore UI to version 2.18.19 or later, or to 2.19.5-beta5 or later. These versions contain fixes that prevent privilege escalation via custom manager roles. Patch status is not explicitly stated as 'official-fix' but the description confirms the issue is fixed in these versions.

Description

Semaphore UI is a web interface for managing DevOps tools. Prior to 2.18.19 and from 2.19.0-alpha3 until 2.19.5-beta5, ProjectMiddleware and GetProjectOrGlobalRoleBySlug allow a project manager to use POST /api/project/{id}/roles to create a custom manager role with permission bitmask 15, overriding the built-in manager permissions and granting CanUpdateProject and CanManageProjectUsers owner capabilities. This issue is fixed in versions 2.18.19 and 2.19.5-beta5.
