MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated account on the Databasement instance (CVSS PR:H/PR:L - no unauthenticated path) and that the Scheduled Restore feature is in use; the attacker manipulates the schema_name argument in a SaveScheduledRestoreRequest API call to reach a schema outside their authorization. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and no special non-default configuration beyond having the restore feature available. The primary limiting factor is the required valid, privileged session - this is not remote-unauthenticated - which, combined with LOW impact and the product's tiny deployment base, constrains realistic risk despite the public PoC. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity, authorization flaw (CWE-862 Missing Authorization) in the Scheduled Restore component of Databasement, exploitable remotely over the network per the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L). The vendor vector sets PR:H, meaning exploitation requires an authenticated and privileged account, which substantially limits the attacker population and keeps the base score modest at 5.1. Impact is uniformly LOW across confidentiality, integrity and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) with no scope change, so this is not a full-compromise bug. A public exploit exists (POC=YES, via the project's own GHSA advisory) and the 4.0 vector carries E:P (proof-of-concept exploit maturity), but there is NO CISA KEV listing and NO EPSS score provided, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation - this should be read as publicly disclosed, not weaponized in the wild. Note a tension worth verifying: CWE-862 Missing Authorization typically describes a low-privileged user reaching resources above their permission level, which argues for PR:L rather than the vendor's PR:H - if PR:L is correct the real-world attacker bar is lower than the 5.1 score implies. Overall this is a legitimate but non-urgent fix-on-patch-cycle item for the small population running Databasement, not a high-priority emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated user of a Databasement instance submits a crafted Scheduled Restore request to app/Http/Requests/Api/V1/SaveScheduledRestoreRequest.php, manipulating the schema_name argument to reference a database schema they should not be authorized to touch. Because the authorization check is missing, the restore is scheduled against the unauthorized target, allowing limited cross-tenant/cross-schema access or modification. A public exploit and advisory (GHSA-3rjj-69wh-r95f) exist, lowering the effort to reproduce. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026
Missing authorization in the Scheduled Restore component of David-Crty Databasement 1.8.1 and earlier lets an authenticated user supply an arbitrary schema_name value to the SaveScheduledRestoreRequest API endpoint and thereby schedule restore operations against database schemas they are not authorized to manage. Exploitation is network-reachable but requires a valid privileged session on the instance plus the Scheduled Restore feature being in use, and public exploit code exists per the vendor GitHub security advisory. The issue is fixed in release 1.8.2; impact per the assessed vector is limited to low confidentiality, integrity and availability effects on the appliance's own scope.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Databasement 1.8.2 (vendor-released patch: v1.8.2, https://github.com/David-Crty/databasement/releases/tag/v1.8.2), which reworks the Scheduled Restore request handling alongside related API token and argument-parsing fixes; no configuration change is required after the upgrade. Where upgrading must be deferred, disable the Scheduled Restore feature if it is not in active use, since removing the endpoint eliminates the attack path at the cost of losing scheduled restore automation. Otherwise, restrict the /api/v1 scheduled-restore endpoints to trusted networks or administrative accounts only, and specifically audit and constrain accounts permitted to create scheduled restores - trade-off is reduced self-service for operators. Add monitoring or alerting on SaveScheduledRestoreRequest calls whose schema_name does not correspond to the calling user's assigned databases, since a successful abuse appears as an anomalous schema reference in application logs; this detects rather than prevents exploitation. Because the exploit is publicly disclosed, prioritize the upgrade over log-based detection.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Databasement is a PHP/Laravel web application for managing database backups and restores, so the affected code lives in a Laravel FormRequest class (app/Http/Requests/Api/V1/SaveScheduledRestoreRequest.php) exposed through the versioned /api/v1 surface. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) means the request object validates and accepts the caller-supplied schema_name argument without verifying that the authenticated user actually holds permissions over the referenced schema, letting a low-privileged account pivot the scheduled restore configuration to a schema outside its authorization boundary. The v1.8.2 changelog shows this was one of a cluster of related hardening fixes in the same release - accepting only user tokens on the user API and MCP endpoints, rejecting abbreviated forms of denied dump options, passing database names unambiguously to dump/restore clients, and no longer auto-creating accounts from Google/GitHub/GitLab logins - indicating that argument-level trust in API input was the underlying weakness class. No SQL injection or memory-safety issue is involved; the defect is purely an access-control gap in how the API request authorizes the schema target.
