An incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability exists in the admin user-management component of Webkul Bagisto version 2.4.9. An authenticated backend user with only the settings.users.edit permission can escalate their privileges to full administrator by exploiting insufficient checks in the user-update endpoint. This allows the user to assign themselves the Administrator role, gaining full admin panel capabilities including access to store configuration, payment gateway credentials, and customer personally identifiable information (PII).

Incorrect privilege assignment in the admin user-management component of Webkul Bagisto 2.4.9 allows an authenticated backend user holding only the settings.users.edit permission to escalate to full administrator. The user-update endpoint (route admin.settings.users.update, UserController::update()) does not verify that the actor is permitted to grant the requested role, does not prevent a user from changing their own role, and does not restrict assignment to roles whose permission set is a subset of the actor's own. By submitting a request that sets role_id to the Administrator role for their own account, a low-privileged administrator gains every admin-panel capability, including store configuration, payment gateway credentials, and customer PII.
