Curator role is a delegated operational privilege, not admin-equivalent, making PR:L more accurate than the vendor-assigned PR:H; no availability impact applies.

DescriptionCVE.org

Onyx is an open-source AI platform. Prior to 4.3.0, Onyx Enterprise Edition's PATCH /manage/admin/user-group/{user_group_id} and POST /manage/admin/user-group/{user_group_id}/add-users endpoints in ee/onyx/server/user_group/api.py call update_user_group and add_users_to_user_group in ee/onyx/db/user_group.py without enforcing _validate_curator_can_modify_group, allowing a curator to add accounts to arbitrary groups and obtain document access through get_acl_for_user and the OpenSearch access_control_list filter. This issue is fixed in version 4.3.0.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in Onyx Enterprise Edition (versions prior to 4.3.0) allows any authenticated curator to modify user groups outside their assigned scope, gaining unauthorized document access through the platform's OpenSearch access_control_list filter. The PATCH /manage/admin/user-group/{user_group_id} and POST /manage/admin/user-group/{user_group_id}/add-users endpoints relied solely on a role check confirming the caller held curator status somewhere in the system, but the underlying database functions update_user_group and add_users_to_user_group never invoked _validate_curator_can_modify_group to scope that access to specific groups. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must hold the CURATOR or GLOBAL_CURATOR role within an Onyx Enterprise Edition deployment (ENABLE_PAID_ENTERPRISE_EDITION_FEATURES=true). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N scores 6.5, but PR:H overstates the authentication barrier - curator is a delegated administrative role granted to operational users, not equivalent to full system-admin access, making the effective privilege bar closer to PR:L and the real exploitability meaningfully higher than the score implies. … 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 to Onyx Enterprise Edition version 4.3.0, which is the vendor-released patch confirmed by the GitHub release tag at https://github.com/onyx-dot-app/onyx/releases/tag/v4.3.0 and implemented via pull requests https://github.com/onyx-dot-app/onyx/pull/12525 and https://github.com/onyx-dot-app/onyx/pull/12549. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
