Description

phpMyFAQ from 4.2.0-alpha before 4.2.0-beta contains a missing authorization vulnerability in GroupController::deleteGroup() that omits privilege-level checks on target groups. Authenticated non-SuperAdmin administrators holding GROUP_DELETE can send a crafted groupId to /admin/api/group/delete to permanently destroy higher-privileged groups and strip members' inherited rights.

CWE-1220

Insufficient Granularity of Access Control

The product implements access controls via a policy or other feature with the intention to disable or restrict accesses (reads and/or writes) to assets in a system from untrusted agents. However, implemented access controls lack required granularity, which renders the control policy too broad because it allows accesses from unauthorized agents to the security-sensitive assets.
