Technical details
The HandleWipeInventory endpoint in backend/app/api/handlers/v1/v1_ctrl_actions.go authorizes the DELETE via global ctx.User.IsOwner instead of validating the caller's role within the active group selected by the X-Tenant request header. Every self-registered user receives global owner status, enabling privilege escalation within other groups they join. An attacker with network access can POST to /v1/actions/wipe-inventory with an X-Tenant header targeting another group to delete its inventory permanently.
