Summary
Tandoor Recipes before 2.7.0 caches permission decisions with a key based only on the user id, leaving out the active space. An authenticated user can keep stale group-based admin permissions when switching to another space, because the cache entry's TTL is refreshed on every request. This lets the user bypass group revocations or demotions across several permission classes and views, with CWE-863.

Description from the CNA
Tandoor Recipes before 2.7.0 contains an improper cache-key design in cookbook/helper/permission_helper.py that allows authenticated users to retain stale group-based permissions across different spaces by exploiting a cache key keyed only on user id while omitting the active space, with the cached entry's TTL refreshed on every request. Attackers can create their own space to obtain an admin group designation, then switch their active space to a victim space where they hold lesser privileges, causing the stale cached admin decision to authorize elevated access and bypass group revocations or demotions across multiple permission classes and views.
