Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the '/customer/servlet/mco/webapi/profile-sections/group-membership' endpoint due to a lack of server-side authorization checks (CWE-863, CWE-266). An authenticated attacker can send a request to this endpoint with a valid group ID to modify their own group membership. Group IDs can be discovered through other API endpoints like '/customer/servlet/mco/webapi/group/picker/groups' or via brute-force. Successful exploitation results in vertical privilege escalation. As of the advisory date, the vendor has not responded to contact attempts, and no patch has been confirmed.
