Security Advisory
CVE-2024-3283
CVE vulnerability detail — eXtreme Datacenter Security Operations
Description
A vulnerability in mintplex-labs/anything-llm allows users with manager roles to escalate their privileges to admin roles through a mass assignment issue. The /admin/system-preferences API endpoint improperly authorizes manager-level users to modify the multi_user_mode system variable, enabling them to access the /api/system/enable-multi-user endpoint and create a new admin user. This issue results from the endpoint accepting a full JSON object in the request body without proper validation of modifiable fields, leading to unauthorized modification of system settings and subsequent privilege escalation.
