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 | The attacker must possess a valid, authenticated Dolibarr account with member-creation rights, confirmed by the CVSS PR:L metric. No special deployment configuration, non-default feature flag, or specific Dolibarr module beyond the Members REST API being network-reachable (AV:N) is required. Exploitation requires no interaction from the target account holder (UI:N). The sole limiting factor is the requirement for at least one low-privilege authenticated account - unauthenticated external attackers cannot directly exploit this flaw. In practice, member-creation rights are commonly delegated to non-administrative users in typical Dolibarr deployments, making this barrier realistically low in many organizations. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.6 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N) reflects a network-exploitable flaw requiring only a low-privilege authenticated account, no user interaction, and no special attack conditions, with high confidentiality and integrity impact to the vulnerable system. The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector marks VA:N, but the described account lockout capability implies at least partial availability impact that the provided vector likely understates - defenders should not dismiss this signal. No EPSS score was provided and CISA KEV listing is absent, so exploitation probability cannot be numerically quantified; however, the publicly available proof-of-concept materially reduces the skill threshold, making any unpatched instance an accessible target for low-sophistication attackers. The privilege escalation path - converting a member-creation account into full administrative credentials - effectively transforms a low-privilege foothold into complete system control, meaning the real-world impact exceeds what a literal reading of PR:L alone would imply. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a standard Dolibarr account granted member-creation rights - a permission routinely issued to non-administrative staff or volunteers - sends a crafted POST request to the Members REST API specifying the administrator's user ID and a chosen password in the request body. The API applies the credential change without checking password-change permissions, allowing the attacker to authenticate as the administrator moments later while the legitimate administrator is locked out. A public proof-of-concept demonstrating this technique is available at https://codeant.ai/security-research/cve-2026-71504-mass-assignment-in-members-api-via-pass. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 24, 2026
Improper authorization in Dolibarr's Members REST API (all versions before 24.0.0) allows any authenticated user holding member-creation rights to overwrite the password of any system account - including the administrator - without possessing password-change permissions. The attacker supplies an arbitrary user identifier and replacement password in the API request body, immediately gaining control of the target account and locking out its legitimate holder. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists; no active exploitation has been confirmed in CISA KEV at the time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Dolibarr to version 24.0.0 or later, which incorporates the authorization fix in commit fbf476cc5d9a21b16bfa04ab17d4e84eda38d7ce; the release is available at https://github.com/Dolibarr/dolibarr/releases/tag/24.0.0. If an immediate upgrade is not operationally feasible, restrict network-level access to the Members REST API endpoint using a reverse-proxy ACL or WAF rule to limit callers to explicitly authorized IP ranges - note this does not remediate the underlying missing authorization check and will disrupt legitimate API integrations. Additionally, audit all accounts currently holding member-creation rights, revoke any that are unnecessary, and review the administrator account's password change history for signs of unauthorized modification prior to applying the patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Dolibarr is an open-source ERP and CRM platform used by SMEs for invoicing, HR, inventory, and CRM workflows. The vulnerable component is the Members REST API, which exposes endpoints for managing member records. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the API's password-update handler validates only that the caller holds member-creation rights, never verifying whether the caller also holds password-change permissions. This enables a mass assignment attack where the caller injects an arbitrary user account identifier and a replacement password into the request body, which the API commits without further authorization checks. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:dolibarr:dolibarr:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all releases before 24.0.0. The upstream fix is recorded in commit fbf476cc5d9a21b16bfa04ab17d4e84eda38d7ce on the Dolibarr GitHub repository.

DescriptionCVE.org
Dolibarr before 24.0.0 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in the Members REST API that allows attackers with only member-creation rights to reset the password of any user account, including the system administrator, without verifying password-change permissions. Attackers can supply an arbitrary user account identifier and new password in the request body to overwrite credentials and immediately lock out the legitimate account holder.
Executive ViewAI
Dolibarr's Members REST API (versions before 24.0.0) allows any authenticated user with member-creation rights to forcibly change system account passwords, including the administrator account. Publicly available exploit code exists, creating immediate risk to organizations using affected versions. Unauthorized account takeover could enable full system compromise and data breach access.
