Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
OpenPLC_V3 REST API endpoint checks for JWT presence but never verifies the caller's role. Any authenticated user with role=user can delete any other user, including administrators, by specifying their user ID or they can create new accounts with role=admin, escalating to full administrator access.
Analysis
Authorization bypass in OpenPLC_V3 REST API allows authenticated low-privilege users to delete administrator accounts or create new admin-level accounts. The API validates JWT token presence but fails to enforce role-based access control, enabling any user with basic authentication to escalate privileges to full administrator access or remove existing administrators by manipulating user ID parameters. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Inventory all OpenPLC_V3 deployments and document current version numbers and user roles. Within 7 days: Implement network segmentation to restrict API access to trusted administrative networks only; disable or restrict REST API access where operationally feasible; audit and document all user accounts with admin privileges. …
