CVE-2026-85212 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.3 · Published 2026-09-03

CRMEB is an open-source e-commerce platform that provides admin role-based access controls to protect sensitive management features. A logic flaw in the authentication check allows sub-administrators and unprivileged accounts to bypass these restrictions and access protected admin endpoints they should not be able to reach, potentially compromising system integrity and exposing sensitive operations.

## Technical details

The vulnerability is an authentication bypass in the verifyAuth() method of SystemRoleServices.php that returns true from both conditional branches of a role-checking logic, rendering the permission check ineffective. The flawed conditional logic means that regardless of whether a user has valid admin roles or not, the method always permits access. Sub-administrators and accounts with no assigned roles can exploit this to reach restricted administrative endpoints. No authentication credentials are required beyond having any account in the system; the attack is purely logic-based within the application. Patches should implement proper conditional logic to reject requests from unprivileged accounts.
