Technical details

The vulnerability is an improper authorization flaw (CWE-269) in the UserController#update endpoint (/orion/api/user/update). The endpoint lacks role-based access control (@RequireRole annotation) and accepts caller-supplied user IDs without validation. Although the service layer protects the roleType field, it allows modification of status, nickname, phone, and email for any user. An authenticated attacker can disable administrator accounts by setting their status to "disabled", or tamper with user metadata. The vulnerability requires authentication but is remotely exploitable via HTTP POST. No official fix has been published as of the advisory date.
