Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Liquidfiles versions before 4.2.12 are affected by a broken access control vulnerability resulting in privilege escalation from an Admin in a secondary domain to a Sysadmin by modifying a group in their managed secondary (non-default) group.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in LiquidFiles before 4.2.12 allows an authenticated Admin of a secondary (non-default) domain to elevate to full Sysadmin access by manipulating group settings within their managed secondary domain group. This broken access control flaw (CWE-285) collapses the authorization boundary between domain-scoped Admin and system-wide Sysadmin roles, granting an attacker complete platform control. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) valid Admin-level credentials for a secondary (non-default) LiquidFiles domain - regular user accounts and primary domain accounts are not sufficient; (2) the target LiquidFiles instance must be configured with at least one secondary (non-default) domain, as the vulnerable code path is specific to non-default domain group management; (3) the attacker must be able to reach the LiquidFiles web interface over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N) scores 5.9 Medium, reflecting that while network-accessible, exploitation requires high existing privileges (PR:H) and a specific deployment configuration (AT:P - secondary domain setup). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker holding valid Admin credentials for a secondary domain - whether through credential theft, insider access, or social engineering - authenticates to the LiquidFiles web interface and uses the group management feature to modify their managed secondary domain group in a way that triggers the broken authorization check, elevating their session to Sysadmin. With Sysadmin access, the attacker gains unrestricted access to all files, users, and system configuration across every domain. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to LiquidFiles 4.2.12 or later, which is the vendor-released patch confirmed by the release notes at https://docs.liquidfiles.com/release_notes/version_4-2-x.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
