How the Exploit Works
An attacker with authenticated read-only admin access could exploit this vulnerability by sending specific configuration requests to the server. As the system does not properly enforce authorization checks for these requests, the attacker can modify settings that should be restricted.
Conceptual Example Code
This is a hypothetical example of how an attacker might use a HTTP request to exploit the vulnerability:
POST /restricted/settings/configure HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer read-only-admin-token
{ "restricted_setting": "new_value" }In this example, the attacker sends a POST request to the restricted settings configuration endpoint, attempting to change a restricted setting to a new value. Despite having only read-only admin privileges, the server accepts and applies the new configuration due to the vulnerability.
