Description
Brave CMS is an open-source CMS. Prior to 2.0.6, this vulnerability is a missing authorization check found in the update role endpoint at routes/web.php.

This allows any authenticated user to change account roles and promote themselves to Super Admin. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.0.6.

The vulnerability stems from a missing authorization middleware check on the /rights/update-role/{id} route, enabling complete takeover of the CMS by any user with valid credentials. …
