4Description
Windmill versions 1.56.0 through 1.614.0 contain a missing authorization vulnerability that allows users with the Operator role to perform prohibited entity creation and modification actions via the backend API. Although Operators are documented and priced as unable to create or modify entities, the API does not enforce the Operator restriction on workspace endpoints, allowing an Operator to create and update scripts, flows, apps, and raw_apps. Since Operators can also execute scripts via the jobs API, this allows direct privilege escalation to remote code execution within the Windmill deployment. This vulnerability has existed since the introduction of the Operator role in version 1.56.0.
Analysis
Authorization bypass in Windmill 1.56.0-1.614.0 enables Operator role users to escalate privileges to remote code execution. Operators can bypass documented role restrictions via unprotected backend API endpoints to create/modify scripts, flows, and apps, then execute arbitrary code through the jobs API. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Identify all Windmill deployments in your environment and determine if any run versions 1.56.0-1.614.0; audit all Operator role assignments and document which accounts hold this privilege. Within 7 days: Restrict network access to affected Windmill instances to trusted internal networks only; restrict or revoke Operator role assignments to essential personnel only, applying least-privilege principles. …
