DescriptionCVE.org

An issue in the inviteController.js component in Bluewave Labs Checkmate <=3.3.0 allows remote authenticated administrators to escalate privileges to superadmin via the role parameter to the /api/v1/invite endpoint.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in Bluewave Labs Checkmate <=3.3.0 allows authenticated administrators to self-elevate to the superadmin role by supplying an arbitrary role value via the role parameter in the POST /api/v1/invite API endpoint, handled by inviteController.js. The flaw stems from improper privilege management (CWE-269): the invite handler trusts the caller-supplied role field without enforcing that admins cannot grant themselves or others a higher tier than their own. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid authenticated administrator session within the target Checkmate deployment (PR:H per CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS base score of 7.2 is technically correct given the PR:H requirement - an attacker must already hold administrator credentials before exploitation is possible, which substantially limits the attack surface compared to unauthenticated flaws. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No specific patched version is identified in the available data - the NVD entry and researcher references do not cite a fixed release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: identify all Checkmate deployments in production and document their versions; implement network-level restrictions on the POST /api/v1/invite endpoint if operationally feasible. …
