Technical details

The GLPI API v2 update flow fails to consistently enforce authorization checks that are properly enforced in the user interface, allowing low-privileged authenticated users to perform unauthorized update operations. The vulnerability affects versions 11.0.0 through 11.0.7 and was patched in 11.0.8 by adding Session::haveRight authorization checks to API endpoints like transferEntity. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can exploit this to modify data they should not have access to.
