## How to fix

## Technical details

An authorization bypass in the V8 module API endpoint (/Api/V8/module) allows authenticated OAuth2 users to perform administrator-only CRUD operations on sensitive modules. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of ACL roles and actions, allowing low-privileged users to create roles, escalate privileges, bind elevated roles to their account, and modify global CRM configuration. An attacker with any valid OAuth2 token can achieve administrator-equivalent access without being in an administrator group.
