How the Exploit Works
This vulnerability stems from incorrect configuration of access control levels within the looks_awesome Team Builder. An attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted request that bypasses the authorization checks, granting them unauthorized access to sensitive system resources or data.
Conceptual Example Code
The vulnerability might be exploited using a HTTP request similar to the following hypothetical example:
POST /team_builder/access_control HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"auth_override": "true",
"access_level": "admin"
}In the above example, a malicious actor might manipulate the ‘auth_override’ and ‘access_level’ parameters to bypass the authorization checks and gain elevated access.
Mitigation Guidance
To mitigate this vulnerability, users should apply the latest vendor-provided patch for looks_awesome Team Builder. If a patch is not immediately available or cannot be applied, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation by detecting and blocking exploit attempts.
