MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a valid authenticated IXP Manager account (CVSS PR:L); the attacker must be a logged-in user of the instance. No special feature flag or non-default configuration is needed - the vulnerable API-key edit/update path in ApiKeyController selects records by identifier without an ownership (user_id) check, so it is exploitable against default deployments of IXP Manager prior to v7.3.0. Exploitation is limited to instances that host more than one user account (i.e. where another user's API-key record exists to target) and by the need to know or enumerate the target record's identifier; a single-user or tightly controlled instance has little exposure. There is no fix other than upgrading to v7.3.0, which the vendor states should be applied as soon as possible. |
| Impact | This is a credible but not emergency-grade priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only a valid authenticated account (PR:L), with no user interaction - consistent with a broken object-level authorization (CWE-863) bug that any logged-in user can trigger. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week' (not act_now/emergency), aligning with a serious-but-not-actively-exploited posture. There is no KEV listing, no EPSS score was supplied, and the three references are a GitHub Security Advisory, the fix commit, and the v7.3.0 release - none of which is working exploit code, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw was found through INEX's own internal audit rather than observed attacks, reinforcing a targeted-insider risk profile rather than mass exploitation. One signal conflicts with the mechanism: the supplied vector rates A:H, but the advisory describes only unauthorized view/edit of another user's API-key record, which more naturally maps to credential disclosure and integrity impact than to high availability loss - verify the availability rating with the vendor. Net: patch to v7.3.0 this week, especially on multi-tenant instances with untrusted or numerous user accounts, but this is not a drop-everything network-unauthenticated RCE. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privileged IXP Manager user invokes the API-key edit/update path in ApiKeyController, supplying the record identifier belonging to a different user; because the controller selects the record without confirming user_id matches the caller, the attacker can read and modify the victim's API-key record. Obtaining another user's API key enables impersonation of that user against the IXP Manager API. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis; the fix commit shows where the ownership check was added. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
Broken object-level authorization in IXP Manager before 7.3.0 allows any authenticated user to view and edit another user's API-key record through the ApiKeyController edit/update path, which selects records by identifier without verifying that the caller's user_id matches. The flaw requires a valid account and a deployment with more than one user, and it is fixed in v7.3.0; this is a credible but not emergency-grade priority, with no public exploit code or active exploitation identified at time of analysis. The vendor states that upgrading to v7.3.0 should be applied as soon as possible.
RemediationAI
Upgrade IXP Manager to v7.3.0 or later, which contains the object-level authorization fix for the ApiKeyController edit/update path (vendor release: https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/releases/tag/v7.3.0; advisory: https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/security/advisories/GHSA-m7g4-g69h-vj5w). The vendor states that this upgrade should be applied as soon as possible and provides no alternative complete fix; no vendor-documented workaround is identified in the available data. Until the upgrade is completed, exposure is limited to authenticated users on multi-user instances where another user's API-key record exists and its identifier can be determined, but restricting account access and reviewing API-key ownership are not substitutes for the vendor patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details
IXP Manager is a Laravel-based PHP web application for managing Internet Exchange Points, and the supplied CPE cpe:2.3:a:inex:ixp-manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected product family. The root cause is CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization): the API-key edit/update path in ApiKeyController retrieves and updates API-key records by identifier without scoping the query to the authenticated user's user_id, creating a classic broken object-level authorization (BOLA/IDOR) condition. The independent assessment rates this as CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L (base score 8.3), confirming that exploitation requires a valid authenticated IXP Manager account (PR:L) and no special feature flag or non-default configuration; it is exploitable against default deployments prior to v7.3.0 when another user's API-key record exists and its identifier can be known or enumerated. The vendor addressed the issue in commit 3856e93681cc5efdaf9e3a7f53a751081433d021 and release v7.3.0, following an internal audit.

DescriptionCVE.org
IXP Manager is a full-stack web application for managing Internet Exchange Points. Prior to version 7.3.0, an authenticated user can view and edit a resource belonging to another user without authorization. The API-key edit/update path in ApiKeyController selects records by identifier without checking that user_id matches the caller, allowing access to another user's API-key record. This issue is fixed in version 7.3.0.
Technical POC Analysis
CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) - specifically broken object-level authorization (IDOR) on an API-key record.
Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
A broken object-level authorization flaw in IXP Manager (versions before 7.3.0) enables any authenticated user to view and edit other users' API-key records, potentially leading to unauthorized access or disruption of critical API integrations. This affects organizations using IXP Manager, particularly those with multi-user deployments, and could result in data exposure or operational impact. Leadership should prioritize remediation to maintain trust and security of API credentials.
