{"id":"CVE-2026-47227","aliases":["GHSA-rwjr-qjj3-mq2f"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-47227","summary":"Admidio module-administrator can delete or reorder categories owned by other modules via dead authorization check in `modules/categories.php`","details":"Admidio is an open-source user management solution. `modules/categories.php` checks that the supplied `type` parameter (`ANN`, `EVT`, `ROL`, `USF`, …) corresponds to a module the actor administers. The follow-up \"is this specific category editable by me\" check at lines 56-61 is dead code because it compares `$getType` (a category-type code) against mode names (`edit`/`save`/`delete`); the condition is permanently false, so `$category->isEditable()` is never invoked. Prior to version 5.0.10, the `delete`, `sequence`, and `save` switch cases load the category by the supplied UUID and act on it without re-checking that the category belongs to a module the actor administers. A user holding only one module-administrator right can therefore destroy or reorder empty categories belonging to *other* modules — for example, an announcements administrator can delete role categories, profile-field categories, or weblink categories that they have no right to touch. Version 5.0.10 fixes the issue.","published":"2026-08-12T12:58:29.719Z","modified":"2026-08-14T03:51:39.235905609Z","cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"},"epss":{"score":0.00235,"percentile":0.14731,"asOf":"2026-08-20"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"admidio/admidio","fixedVersion":"5.0.10"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/Admidio/admidio/security/advisories/GHSA-rwjr-qjj3-mq2f"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/47xxx/CVE-2026-47227.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-47227"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-14T03:51:39.235905609Z"}}
