How to fix

Fixed in: LORIS 27.0.4, 28.0.2

Deployments that no longer use the API can disable it to remove access to this endpoint.

Technical details

The API endpoint for the imaging_browser module's QC status editing fails to check user permissions that are enforced by the frontend, allowing authenticated API callers to modify MRI QC data without the required imaging_browser_qc permission and project access. The vulnerability affects versions 22.0.0–27.0.3 and 28.0.0–28.0.1, fixed by adding permission checks to the PUT handler in the QC endpoint.

Affected products

ACES LORIS 22.0.0 to 27.0.3, 28.0.0 to 28.0.1
