Summary
StudioCMS: REST API Missing Rank Check Allows Admin to Create Peer Admin Accounts
Details

Summary

The REST API createUser endpoint uses string-based rank checks that only block creating owner accounts, while the Dashboard API uses indexOf-based rank comparison that prevents creating users at or above your own rank. This inconsistency allows an admin to create additional admin accounts via the REST API, enabling privilege proliferation and persistence.

Details

The REST API handler in packages/studiocms/frontend/pages/studiocms_api/_handlers/rest-api/v1/secure.ts:1365-1378:

// REST API — only blocks creating 'owner'
if (newUserRank === 'owner' && rank !== 'owner') {
    return yield* new RestAPIError({
        error: 'Unauthorized to create user with owner rank',
    });
}

if (rank === 'admin' && newUserRank === 'owner') {
    return yield* new RestAPIError({
        error: 'Unauthorized to create user with owner rank',
    });
}

// Missing: no check preventing admin from creating admin
// newUserRank='admin' passes all checks

The Dashboard API handler in _handlers/dashboard/create.ts uses the correct approach:

// Dashboard API — blocks creating users at or above own rank
const callerPerm = availablePermissionRanks.indexOf(userData.permissionLevel);
const targetPerm = availablePermissionRanks.indexOf(rank);

if (targetPerm >= callerPerm) {
    return yield* new DashboardAPIError({
        error: 'Unauthorized: insufficient permissions to assign target rank',
    });
}

With availablePermissionRanks = ['unknown', 'visitor', 'editor', 'admin', 'owner']: - Admin (index 3) creating admin (index 3): 3 >= 3 = blocked in Dashboard - In REST API: no such check — allowed

PoC

# 1. Use an admin-level API token

# 2. Create a new admin user via REST API
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:4321/studiocms_api/rest/v1/secure/users' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <admin-api-token>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "username": "rogue_admin",
    "email": "rogue@attacker.com",
    "displayname": "Rogue Admin",
    "rank": "admin",
    "password": "StrongP@ssw0rd123"
  }'

# Expected: 403 Forbidden (admin should not create peer admin accounts)
# Actual: 200 with new admin user created

Impact

  • A compromised or rogue admin can create additional admin accounts as persistence mechanisms that survive password resets or token revocations
  • Inconsistent security model between Dashboard API and REST API creates confusion about intended authorization boundaries
  • Note: requires admin access (PR:H), which limits practical severity

Recommended Fix

Replace string-based checks with indexOf comparison in packages/studiocms/frontend/pages/studiocms_api/_handlers/rest-api/v1/secure.ts:

// Before:
if (newUserRank === 'owner' && rank !== 'owner') { ... }
if (rank === 'admin' && newUserRank === 'owner') { ... }

// After:
const availablePermissionRanks = ['unknown', 'visitor', 'editor', 'admin', 'owner'];
const callerPerm = availablePermissionRanks.indexOf(rank);
const targetPerm = availablePermissionRanks.indexOf(newUserRank);

if (targetPerm >= callerPerm) {
    return yield* new RestAPIError({
        error: 'Unauthorized: insufficient permissions to assign target rank',
    });
}

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:03 – Updated: 2023-01-30 21:30
VLAI
Details

OpenBSD through 6.6 allows local users to escalate to root because a check for LD_LIBRARY_PATH in setuid programs can be defeated by setting a very small RLIMIT_DATA resource limit. When executing chpass or passwd (which are setuid root), _dl_setup_env in ld.so tries to strip LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the environment, but fails when it cannot allocate memory. Thus, the attacker is able to execute their own library code as root.

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-48
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.

Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.

CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse

An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.

CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation

An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.

CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation

An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
