Summary

Wazuh from 4.0.0 before 4.14.8 contains an authorization bypass (CWE-863) in its security API. An authenticated user with low privileges can read the RBAC catalog by querying the GET /security/actions and /security/resources endpoints, which omit the caller's own RBAC policies. An attacker can use the returned data to map privileged actions and endpoints while planning privilege escalation.

Description from the CNA

Wazuh from 4.0.0 before 4.14.8 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows low-privileged authenticated users to read the RBAC catalog by querying unprotected security endpoints. Attackers can request GET /security/actions and /security/resources, which omit the caller's RBAC policies, to map privileged actions and endpoints for privilege escalation planning.
