CVE-2026-110117 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-13

SmartAdmin is a Java-based administrative platform used to manage system configuration and security policies. Authenticated employees with low-level privileges can bypass access controls to modify critical security settings like login lockout policies, two-factor authentication, and password requirements, effectively disabling key security protections for the entire system.

## Technical details

Missing authorization checks in the AdminProtectController allow authenticated users to invoke the updateConfig and loginFail batchDelete endpoints without proper privilege verification. Although the AdminInterceptor validates login and checks for @SaIgnore annotations, these specific endpoints lack the necessary authorization annotations to restrict modification of level-3 protection settings to administrators only. An attacker with a low-privilege account can disable login lockout, turn off two-factor authentication, and weaken password policies.
