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 | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session of any privilege level on the JeecgBoot instance (CVSS PR:L); it is not reachable pre-authentication. Given valid credentials, the GET /sys/sysDepart/getDepartmentHead endpoint of SysDepartController in JeecgBoot versions through 3.9.5 performs no authorization check, so an attacker simply iterates the departId parameter to read staff names, avatars, posts, and mobile/telephone numbers for any department, including entries marked hidden. The limiting factors are: (1) the need for any authenticated account, and (2) impact confined to confidentiality of directory/contact data - no write, code-execution, or availability effect. No special non-default configuration is required; the vulnerable endpoint is part of the standard system module. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity information-disclosure issue, not an urgent priority. The vendor-supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N) is internally consistent: network-reachable, low complexity, but requiring low-privilege authentication (PR:L) and yielding only limited confidentiality impact (VC:L) with no integrity or availability impact - matching the base score of 5.3. The CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) classification and description align well with this vector. A public POC exists (VulnCheck advisory plus a GitHub exploit script), which raises operational concern, but there is NO CISA KEV listing and NO EPSS score provided, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation - the signals point to a disclosed-but-not-mass-exploited flaw. The key limiting factor is that exploitation requires a valid authenticated account on the JeecgBoot instance; this is a privilege-escalation-of-data-access issue (any authenticated user reading data they should not), not a pre-auth breach. No signals are strongly conflicting; the main caveat is the absence of EPSS/KEV data, which means exploitation likelihood is inferred only from POC availability. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged but authenticated user (or an attacker who has obtained any valid account) sends GET requests to /sys/sysDepart/getDepartmentHead while iterating departId values. Because the endpoint lacks an authorization check, the attacker harvests staff names, avatars, posts, and mobile/telephone numbers across all departments - including contacts flagged as hidden. A public POC (poc_org_scope_reads.py) automates this enumeration, making the attack trivial for anyone holding a session. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 10, 2026
Missing authorization in JeecgBoot through 3.9.5 lets any authenticated user - regardless of privilege level (CVSS vector PR:L) - enumerate department personnel via the GET /sys/sysDepart/getDepartmentHead endpoint of SysDepartController, disclosing staff names, avatars, posts, and mobile and telephone numbers, including records explicitly marked hidden, simply by iterating the departId parameter. Publicly available exploit code exists in the form of a proof-of-concept script targeting the endpoint, but the impact is confined to confidentiality of directory/contact data at CVSS 5.3 with no write, code-execution, or availability effect, and no non-default configuration is needed to reach the vulnerable code path. This is a moderate-severity information-disclosure issue rather than an urgent, actively exploited one.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released fixed version is identified in the available data - the advisory covers affected releases through 3.9.5 without naming a patched build - so treat this as a moderate-priority hardening task and rely on compensating controls until an upstream fix is confirmed. The most effective mitigation is code-level: add an explicit authorization check to the getDepartmentHead handler in SysDepartController (for example the system-module permission annotation such as @RequiresPermissions("system:sysDepart:...") or an equivalent Spring Security / JWT authority test) before the lookup executes, and stop returning hidden mobile and telephone fields to callers lacking that permission; this change must be re-applied or verified after each JeecgBoot upgrade. If code changes are not immediately possible, block or restrict the exact path /sys/sysDepart/getDepartmentHead at the reverse proxy, WAF, or Spring Security filter chain so that external and non-administrative callers are denied - the trade-off being that the legitimate department-head picker in the JeecgBoot UI will stop functioning for the blocked users. Because exploitation only needs any authenticated session, also reduce attack surface by disabling unused accounts and self-registration or guest paths, rotate credentials for low-privilege accounts, and monitor access logs for a single principal requesting sequential departId values or repeatedly hitting this endpoint, which is the signature of the published proof-of-concept at https://github.com/AnkesKasty/cve-request-poc/blob/a7b6d1423555812d8efa26c91c5d0683164b31e5/JeecgBoot/poc_org_scope_reads.py. Consult the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/jeecgboot-through-3.9.5-missing-authorization-via-getdepartmenthead-endpoint) and the upstream JeecgBoot repository for an official patch before assuming the endpoint is safe.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the getDepartmentHead handler in SysDepartController - located in jeecg-boot/jeecg-module-system/jeecg-system-biz/src/main/java/org/jeecg/modules/system/controller/SysDepartController.java, around lines 822-829 in the referenced revision - performs the department-head lookup without verifying that the caller holds the permission associated with the system module, so the only gate is possession of a valid session. JeecgBoot is a Spring Boot / Java low-code development platform whose system module exposes REST services under /sys/...; because the endpoint trusts the caller-supplied departId and returns enriched employee records, an authenticated attacker can walk department identifiers to harvest contact metadata the UI normally withholds, including hidden mobile and telephone numbers. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:jeecgboot:jeecgboot:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is version-agnostic, matching the vendor's framing of the issue as affecting releases through 3.9.5 rather than one build, and the flawed handler ships with the standard system module, meaning no optional component or special setting is required for exploitation.

DescriptionCVE.org
JeecgBoot through 3.9.5 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the GET /sys/sysDepart/getDepartmentHead endpoint of SysDepartController that allows any authenticated user to list department staff. Low-privileged attackers can enumerate departId values to retrieve staff names, avatars, posts, and mobile and telephone numbers, including contacts marked hidden.
