|
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated FlyCms session (any low-privileged registered user, PR:L) and the ability to POST to the /ucenter/account_update endpoint with additional User bean fields beyond the intended profile fields; the server must bind those extra fields without a whitelist, which is the core defect in this commit. Limiting factors: exploitation is not anonymous - an attacker needs valid account credentials/registration on the target instance - and impact is confined to altering account columns (self review-status change, rename, or credential collision to deny a victim's login) with no direct confidentiality breach or remote code execution. Default affected configuration is any FlyCms deployment at or before commit edfdf724 that exposes user self-service account updates. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.0 base 5.3) mass-assignment flaw (CWE-915) whose real-world risk is modest and bounded. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation but requires existing low-level authentication (PR:L) - i.e., any registered FlyCms user, not an anonymous attacker. Impact is integrity-limited (VI:L) and availability-limited (VA:L) with no confidentiality loss (VC:N), consistent with the description: an attacker alters their own protected account columns or collides a victim's username/email/mobile to deny that victim's login. No EPSS score, KEV listing, POC, or SSVC decision data was supplied, so exploitation-likelihood signals are absent rather than low - I cannot assert widespread exploitation. Note the input 'Information Disclosure' tag conflicts with the CVSS vector, which explicitly sets VC:N (no confidentiality impact); the actual security effect is integrity/account-takeover-adjacent and availability (login denial), not disclosure. Overall this is a legitimate but lower-tier issue: real because exploitation is simple for any authenticated user against an unpatched instance, but not an emergency given the obscure product footprint and absence of confidentiality impact or active-exploitation evidence. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged registered user of a FlyCms site submits a POST to /ucenter/account_update that includes extra User bean fields (e.g., review status, username, email, or mobile) beyond those the profile form intends. The server binds these attacker-supplied fields directly onto the persisted User object, letting the attacker self-approve their review status or set their username/email/mobile to match a target victim, thereby breaking the victim's ability to log in. No public exploit code was identified in the supplied data, but the attack requires only a standard authenticated session and a modified form submission (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 19, 2026
Mass assignment in FlyCms through commit edfdf724 lets any authenticated low-privileged user POST extra User bean fields to /ucenter/account_update and persist protected account columns. An attacker can alter their own review status, rename the account, or set a victim's username, email, or mobile number to collide with an existing account and block that victim's login. The flaw is rated medium severity (CVSS 4.0 base 5.3, CWE-915); no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the provided data; the upstream issue and VulnCheck advisory should be tracked for a fixed commit or release. Until a patched version is confirmed, change /ucenter/account_update to bind only an explicit allowlist DTO of user-editable fields (for example display name and safe profile attributes) and ignore or reject all other User bean properties, especially review status, username, email, and mobile. As compensating controls, disable or restrict the self-service account-update endpoint at the reverse proxy or feature-flag level (side effect: users cannot edit profiles), enforce database/service-layer uniqueness for username/email/mobile and make review status immutable from user-facing updates (side effect: legitimate admin workflows need a separate privileged path), and audit accounts for duplicate identifiers or unexpected review-status changes. See https://github.com/sunkaifei/FlyCms/issues/19 and https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/flycms-through-commit-edfdf724-mass-assignment-via-ucenter-account-update.

Technical ContextAI · show details
FlyCms is a Java-based CMS, and the referenced vulnerable snapshot is commit edfdf724, with affected backend code in UserController.java, UserService.java, and user__UserDao.xml. The account-update handler is reported to bind request parameters directly to a User bean and pass it to the user service and DAO without a field allowlist, so properties that should be protected - including review/audit status, username, email, and mobile - can be mass-assigned during a self-service profile update. CWE-915 (Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes) describes this class of defect. The assessed CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L confirms that the attacker must already hold a low-privileged authenticated session, with limited integrity and availability impact and no confidentiality impact. No CPE identifiers were provided in the available intelligence.

DescriptionCVE.org
FlyCms through commit edfdf724 contains a mass assignment vulnerability that allows authenticated users to overwrite protected account columns by submitting extra User bean fields to /ucenter/account_update. Attackers can change their review status, rename themselves, or duplicate another account's username, email or mobile to break that victim's login.
