Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-915.
Summary
SuiteCRM before 7.15.2 and from 8.0.0 before 8.10.2 is affected. The V8 write path checks that a field exists but does not enforce the api-visible or sensitive metadata that hides the same field on reads, so PATCH /Api/V8/module accepts internal fields such as user_hash and external_auth_only. An authenticated user can modify password hashes and external-authentication flags, which lets them persist unauthorized account access (CWE-915).

Description from the CNA
SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Prior to 7.15.2 and 8.10.2, the V8 write path checks that a field exists but does not enforce api-visible or sensitive metadata that hides the same field on reads. The affected flow begins at PATCH /Api/V8/module and uses user_hash, external_auth_only, api-visible: false, and sensitive: true to carry attacker-controlled data or authorization state into the security-sensitive operation. An authenticated user can mass-assign internal authentication fields, modify password hashes or external-authentication flags, and persist unauthorized account access. This issue is fixed in versions 7.15.2 and 8.10.2.
