Network-accessible API requires valid authentication (PR:L); information exposure is limited to a field-ordering oracle with no integrity impact and scoped availability disruption.

DescriptionCVE.org
Summary
Affected versions of Starlette-Admin prior to 0.16.1 do not properly validate user-supplied sort and search parameters against the configured field allowlists. While the administrative UI restricts available fields based on field configuration, the backend accepts arbitrary field names supplied through API requests.
An authenticated user can submit crafted requests to sort or filter records using fields that are not intended to be searchable or sortable. Additionally, supplying invalid field names or special Python attribute names can trigger unhandled exceptions that result in HTTP 500 responses.
Impact
An authenticated user with access to affected list endpoints may:
- Bypass intended UI restrictions and perform sorting or filtering on fields that are not configured as searchable or sortable.
- Cause affected API requests to fail with HTTP 500 responses by supplying invalid field names or special Python attribute names such as
metadataor__class__.
This vulnerability may result in unauthorized use of query functionality and limited denial-of-service conditions affecting the targeted endpoint.
Affected Versions
All versions before 0.16.1.
Patched Versions
- 0.16.1
Workarounds
There are no known workarounds. Users should upgrade to version 0.16.1 or later.
AnalysisAI
Starlette-Admin, the Python ASGI-based administrative UI framework, fails to validate sort and filter parameters against configured field allowlists on its backend API, allowing any authenticated user to bypass the frontend field restrictions and query hidden or non-sortable columns as an information-disclosure oracle. Additionally, passing special Python attribute names such as __class__ or metadata as field values triggers unhandled exceptions that return HTTP 500 responses, creating a limited denial-of-service condition against targeted list endpoints. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with at minimum low-privilege access to any list endpoint in the Starlette-Admin panel (CVSS PR:L confirms authentication is mandatory - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-provided CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L) accurately reflects the moderate risk profile. … 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 | Upgrade starlette-admin to version 0.16.1 or later, which introduces server-side validation of `order_by` and `where` parameters before query execution, rejecting invalid field names with HTTP 422. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
