Summary

InvoicePlane, a self-hosted open source application for managing invoices, clients, and payments, in version 1.7.2 has a vulnerability allowing takeover of the primary administrator account. A previous fix (PR #1638) protected the direct password change but not the user_email attribute. A secondary administrator can edit the primary administrator's account and change their email address, then use the public password recovery flow to receive a reset token and take over user_id=1.

Risk Assessment

Takeover of the primary administrator account by another administrator, potentially leading to full control over the application and data.

Recommendation

Apply the fix from commit 8616fa4 or upgrade InvoicePlane to a version containing this fix. Limit the number of administrators and monitor changes to administrator email addresses.

Original NVD description (English source)

InvoicePlane is a self-hosted open source application for managing invoices, clients, and payments. In version 1.7.2, an authorization guard to Users::change_password(), was added to address a previous authorization flaw that allowed a secondary administrator (user_type=1, user_id != 1) to directly change the password of the primary administrator (user_id=1) through users/change_password/{id}. That remediation, however, protects only the direct password-change operation. It does not protect the identity attribute that password recovery actually trusts: user_email. Users::form() applies no equivalent object-level authorization check when editing the primary administrator's account, and user_email is not included in PROTECTED_FIELDS. A secondary administrator can therefore rewrite the primary administrator's email address, then drive the public password-recovery flow — which resolves the account by user_email — to receive the reset token and take over user_id=1. The result is an alternate attack path that achieves the same impact PR #1638 was intended to prevent: cross-administrator full account takeover of the primary administrator. This issue has been patched via commit 8616fa4.
