Technical details
The POST /api/machine/{pk}/restart/ endpoint in InvenTree uses insufficient permission checks (IsAuthenticatedOrReadScope) instead of requiring ADMIN role, allowing authenticated users without elevated privileges to trigger MachineRestart and invoke registry.restart_machine() on any registered machine. The vulnerability affects any authenticated user with limited roles like STOCK, and is fixed by restricting the endpoint to staff users only as of version 1.4.0.
