| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated Dolibarr account with at minimum Leave Request module read access - confirmed by CVSS PR:L (low privilege), meaning unauthenticated external attackers cannot exploit this directly. The Dolibarr REST API must be enabled and reachable over the network (AV:N, standard in most deployments). No special non-default configuration is required beyond having a valid user account and API access. The attack is purely read-only: CVSS I:N and A:N confirm no modification or denial-of-service capability. Exploitation is limited to horizontal privilege escalation - accessing peer users' leave records - not vertical escalation to administrative functions or full system compromise. The primary factor limiting real-world risk is the PR:L authentication gate: environments where all Dolibarr users are equally trusted (e.g., a single administrator using the platform alone) face negligible practical exposure, whereas multi-user HR or SMB deployments where employees should not see each other's leave data are meaningfully impacted. |
| Impact | CVSS 4.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N places this firmly in the limited-impact tier: network-reachable, low complexity, no user interaction required, but gated behind a valid low-privilege account and yielding only confidentiality exposure with no integrity or availability impact. The temporal vector modifiers E:P (proof-of-concept exploit exists), RL:O (official fix released), and RC:C (confirmed report) are all present, indicating elevated confidence in the vulnerability details and reduced urgency once patched. EPSS data was not provided in the input so exploitation probability percentile cannot be quantified. This is not in CISA KEV, meaning no confirmed widespread active exploitation is known at time of analysis. The PR:L authentication requirement is the primary risk limiter - exploitation is trivially easy for any valid Dolibarr user but inaccessible to external unauthenticated attackers. For multi-user deployments (HR teams, SMB employees using self-service leave management), this is a meaningful horizontal privacy violation: any employee could enumerate colleagues' leave records. For single-user or fully trusted internal deployments, practical risk is negligible. The public POC (exploit PDF) lowers the bar for exploitation and warrants treating this as a higher practical priority than the raw CVSS score implies for multi-user environments. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 01, 2026
Horizontal privilege escalation in Dolibarr ERP CRM through version 23.0.1 permits any authenticated low-privilege user to read other users' leave request records via the Leave Request REST API, with a publicly available proof-of-concept confirming exploitability. The flaw in checkUserAccessToObject within api_holidays.class.php (CWE-285, Improper Authorization) arises because the access control helper receives only an integer object ID rather than the full object, causing ownership validation to fail silently and return another user's confidential HR data. No active exploitation is confirmed in CISA KEV, but the public POC and low attack complexity make this a realistic insider or multi-tenant threat requiring prompt patching.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Dolibarr ERP CRM to version 23.0.2 or later, which incorporates the vendor-confirmed fix at commit ee93b6f2f9dd0f6aeefe9d718ab3ab0a44326b73 (https://github.com/Dolibarr/dolibarr/releases/tag/23.0.2). The patch corrects _checkAccessToResource() call sites across the Holiday and Expense Report API classes to pass the full object rather than only the integer ID, restoring proper ownership validation. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict access to the Dolibarr REST API endpoint (/api/index.php/) to trusted internal IP ranges via firewall or WAF rules - this reduces attack surface but does not eliminate the flaw for users who legitimately need API access. As a more aggressive compensating control, disable the Leave Request REST API module in Dolibarr's configuration if the API feature is unused; note this will break any integrations or mobile apps that consume the holidays endpoint. Restricting Dolibarr user accounts to the minimum necessary role and ensuring all accounts belong to trusted personnel limits lateral exposure while the patch is staged.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Dolibarr ERP CRM is a PHP-based open-source enterprise resource planning and CRM platform. The vulnerability exists in the checkUserAccessToObject function within htdocs/holiday/class/api_holidays.class.php, which gates access to Leave Request records via the REST API. The root cause (CWE-285, Improper Authorization) is a systematic misuse of the _checkAccessToResource() helper: callers passed only the integer $object->id rather than the full object instance, and the authorization logic requires the complete object to resolve ownership or entity relationships. The patch commit ee93b6f2f9dd0f6aeefe9d718ab3ab0a44326b73 reveals the same defect was present across the Expense Report API (htdocs/expensereport/class/api_expensereports.class.php) in at least nine separate call sites, indicating a systemic pattern rather than an isolated bug. The base API class (htdocs/api/class/api.class.php) updated its _checkAccessToResource() signature to formally accept int|string|Object as the resource ID parameter, confirming the fix required both API consumers and the base class to be updated. Affected CPE: cpe:2.3:a:dolibarr:erp_crm:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all versions up through 23.0.1.
