@oneuptime/commonnpmDescription
Summary
During the login process, the server response included a parameter called isMasterAdmin. By intercepting and modifying this parameter value from false to true, a user is able to gain access to the admin dashboard interface. However, despite accessing the admin panel, the user does not have sufficient permissions to view or interact with actual data.
PoC
Intercept the login response and change "isMasterAdmin": false → "isMasterAdmin": true <img width="1405" height="567" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7036398b-bb41-46c1-b66a-e49ec2bc3abb" /> <img width="1533" height="476" alt="2" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4efcaef5-a939-4729-be43-3af62a7d02f8" />
Impact
The admin dashboard is viewable.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @oneuptime/common, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update @oneuptime/common to 8.0.5567 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-675q-66gf-gqg8 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
