Technical details

An incorrect authorization check in the devices page bulk move function allows cross-organization device movement. The get_by_id/2 lookup checks only that the user is a member of the target organization at any role, but does not validate that the user has the required manage role in the target organization before moving devices. A user with manage role in source organization and view role in target can move devices and their associated credentials, joining target deployment groups.
