Summary
Omnispace Agora Project before 26.10.0 lacks a function-level authorization check (CWE-862) in the user-edit action. A regular, non-administrative member with low privileges can create user accounts over the network, which leads to privilege escalation. The missing editRight() check in actionVueEditUser is the cause.

Description from the CNA
Omnispace Agora Project before 26.10.0 contains a broken access control vulnerability that allows a regular, non-administrative member to create user accounts by invoking the user-edit action without a function-level authorization check. Attackers can exploit the missing editRight() enforcement in actionVueEditUser to create unauthorized user accounts, leading to privilege escalation.
