Admidio: Cross-Organization Member Data Exposure via Permission Check Mismatch in contacts_data.php
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.9, the contacts_data.php endpoint uses a weaker permission check (isAdministratorUsers(), requiring only rol_edit_user=true) than the frontend UI (contacts.php) which correctly requires the stronger isAdministrator() (requiring rol_administrator=true) and the contacts_show_all system setting. A user manager who is not a full administrator can directly request contacts_data.php?mem_show_filter=3 to retrieve all user records across all organizations in the Admidio instance, bypassing multi-tenant organization isolation. This issue has been patched in version 5.0.9.
Admidio: Path Traversal via Unvalidated `name` Parameter in Document Add Mode Enables Arbitrary Server File Read
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.9, the add mode in modules/documents-files.php accepts a name parameter validated only as 'string' type (HTML encoding), allowing path traversal characters (../) to pass through unfiltered. Combined with the absence of CSRF protection on this endpoint and SameSite=Lax session cookies, a low-privileged attacker can trick a documents administrator into clicking a crafted link that registers an arbitrary server file (e.g., install/config.php containing database credentials) into a documents folder accessible to the attacker. This issue has been patched in version 5.0.9.
Admidio: Path Traversal in ECard Preview Allows Reading Arbitrary Server Files Including Database Credentials
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.9, the ecard_preview.php endpoint does not validate that the ecard_template POST parameter is a safe filename before passing it to ECard::getEcardTemplate(). An authenticated user can supply a path traversal payload (e.g., ../config.php) to read arbitrary files accessible to the web server process, including adm_my_files/config.php which contains database credentials. This issue has been patched in version 5.0.9.
Admidio: Missing CSRF Protection on Registration Approval Actions
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.8, the create_user, assign_member, and assign_user action modes in modules/registration.php approve pending user registrations via GET request without validating a CSRF token. Unlike the delete_user mode in the same file (which correctly validates the token), these three approval actions read their parameters from $_GET and perform irreversible state changes without any protection. An attacker who has submitted a pending registration can extract their own user UUID from the registration confirmation email URL, then trick any user with the rol_approve_users right into vis
Admidio: CSRF and Form Validation Bypass in Inventory Item Save via `imported` Parameter
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.8, the inventory module's item_save endpoint accepts a user-controllable POST parameter imported that, when set to true, completely bypasses both CSRF token validation and server-side form validation. An authenticated user can craft a direct POST request to save arbitrary inventory item data without CSRF protection and without the field value checks that the FormPresenter validation normally enforces. This issue has been patched in version 5.0.8.
Admidio: Missing CSRF Protection on Custom List Deletion in mylist_function.php
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. From version 5.0.0 to before version 5.0.8, the delete mode handler in mylist_function.php permanently deletes list configurations without validating a CSRF token. An attacker who can lure an authenticated user to a malicious page can silently destroy that user's list configurations — including organization-wide shared lists when the victim holds administrator rights. This issue has been patched in version 5.0.8.
Admidio: Unauthenticated Access to Role-Restricted documents via neutralized .htaccess
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. From version 5.0.0 to before version 5.0.8, Admidio relies on adm_my_files/.htaccess to deny direct HTTP access to uploaded documents. The Docker image ships with AllowOverride None in the Apache configuration, which causes Apache to silently ignore all .htaccess files. As a result, any file uploaded to the documents module regardless of the role-based permissions configured in the UI, is directly accessible over HTTP without authentication by anyone who knows the file path. The file path is disclosed in the upload response JSON. This issue has been patched in version 5.0.8.
Admidio: Second-Order SQL Injection via List Configuration (lsc_special_field, lsc_sort, lsc_filter)
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Versions 5.0.6 and below are vulnerable to arbitrary SQL Injection through the MyList configuration feature. The MyList configuration feature lets authenticated users define custom list column layouts, storing user-supplied column names, sort directions, and filter conditions in the adm_list_columns table via prepared statements. However, these stored values are later read back and interpolated directly into dynamically constructed SQL queries without sanitization or parameterization, creating a classic second-order SQL injection vulnerability (safe write, unsafe read). An attacker can explo
Admidio is Missing Authorization and CSRF Protection on Document and Folder Deletion
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. In versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.6, the documents and files module does not verify whether the current user has permission to delete folders or files. The folder_delete and file_delete action handlers in modules/documents-files.php only perform a VIEW authorization check (getFolderForDownload / getFileForDownload) before calling delete(), and they never validate a CSRF token. Because the target UUIDs are read from $_GET, deletion can be triggered by a plain HTTP GET request. When the module is in public mode (documents_files_module_enabled = 1) and a folder is marked public (fol_public = true),
Admidio Vulnerable to SSRF and Local File Read via Unrestricted URL Fetch in SSO Metadata Endpoint
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. In versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.6, unrestricted URL fetch in the SSO Metadata API can result in SSRF and local file reads. The SSO Metadata fetch endpoint at modules/sso/fetch_metadata.php accepts an arbitrary URL via $_GET['url'], validates it only with PHP's FILTER_VALIDATE_URL, and passes it directly to file_get_contents(). FILTER_VALIDATE_URL accepts file://, http://, ftp://, data://, and php:// scheme URIs. An authenticated administrator can use this endpoint to read arbitrary local files via the file:// wrapper (Local File Read), reach internal services via http:// (SSRF), or fetch cloud
Admidio: HTMLPurifier Bypass in eCard Message Allows HTML Email Injection
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. In versions 5.0.6 and below, the eCard send handler uses a raw $_POST['ecard_message'] value instead of the HTMLPurifier-sanitized $formValues['ecard_message'] when constructing the greeting card HTML. This allows an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript into greeting card emails sent to other members, bypassing the server-side HTMLPurifier sanitization that is properly applied to the ecard_message field during form validation. An attack can result in any member or role receiving phishing content that appears legitimate, crossing from the web application into recipie
Admidio: Unrestricted File Upload via CSRF Token Validation Bypass in Documents & Files Module
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Versions 5.0.6 and below contain a critical unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the Documents & Files module. Due to a design flaw in how CSRF token validation and file extension verification interact within UploadHandlerFile.php, an authenticated user with upload permissions can bypass file extension restrictions by intentionally submitting an invalid CSRF token. This allows the upload of arbitrary file types, including PHP scripts, which may lead to Remote Code Execution on the server, resulting in full server compromise, data exfiltration, and lateral movement. This issue has been f
Admidio is Missing Authorization on Forum Topic and Post Deletion
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. In versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.6, the forum module in Admidio does not verify whether the current user has permission to delete forum topics or posts. Both the topic_delete and post_delete actions in forum.php only validate the CSRF token but perform no authorization check before calling delete(). Any authenticated user with forum access can delete any topic (with all its posts) or any individual post by providing its UUID. This is inconsistent with the save/edit operations, which properly check isAdministratorForum() and ownership before allowing modifications. Any logged-in user can permane
Admidio has Missing CSRF Validation on Role Delete, Activate, and Deactivate Actions
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. In versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.6, the delete, activate, and deactivate modes in modules/groups-roles/groups_roles.php perform destructive state changes on organizational roles but never validate an anti-CSRF token. The client-side UI passes a CSRF token to callUrlHideElement(), which includes it in the POST body, but the server-side handlers ignore $_POST["adm_csrf_token"] entirely for these three modes. An attacker who can discover a role UUID (visible in the public cards view when the module is publicly accessible) can embed a forged POST form on any external page and trick any user with th
Admidio is Missing CSRF Protection on Role Membership Date Changes
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. In versions 5.0.6 and below, the save_membership action in modules/profile/profile_function.php saves changes to a member's role membership start and end dates but does not validate the CSRF token. The handler checks stop_membership and remove_former_membership against the CSRF token but omits save_membership from that check. Because membership UUIDs appear in the HTML source visible to authenticated users, an attacker can embed a crafted POST form on any external page and trick a role leader into submitting it, silently altering membership dates for any member of roles the victim leads. A r
