CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
Movary is a self hosted web app to track and rate a user's watched movies. Prior to version 0.71.1, an ordinary authenticated user can escalate their own account to administrator by sending isAdmin=true to PUT /settings/users/{userId} for their own user ID. The endpoint is intended to let a user edit their own profile, but it updates the sensitive isAdmin field without any admin-only authorization check. Version 0.71.1 patches the issue.
