CVE-2026-35476
HighCVSS 7.2Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk4th percentile - higher than 4% of all known CVEs
Summary
InvenTree is an Open Source Inventory Management System. Prior to 1.2.7 and 1.3.0, a non-staff authenticated user can elevate their account to a staff level via a POST request against their user account endpoint. The write permissions on the API endpoint are improperly configured, allowing any user to change their staff status. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.2.7 and 1.3.0.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes unauthorized privilege escalation, potentially allowing an attacker to gain access to administrative functions and sensitive data.
Recommendation
Upgrade InvenTree to version 1.2.7 or 1.3.0.
Other vulnerabilities in InvenTree
See all- CVE-2026-39362High
InvenTree before versions 1.2.7 and 1.3.0 allows authenticated users to fetch files from arbitrary URLs (remote_image) without internal IP validation. An attacker can use this for internal network scanning or SSRF attacks.
- CVE-2026-35479Medium
In InvenTree prior to versions 1.2.7 and 1.3.0, users with staff access permissions can install plugins via the API without requiring superuser account access. This is inconsistent with other plugin actions (such as uninstalling) which do require superuser access.
- CVE-2026-35478High
Vulnerability in InvenTree from 0.16.0 to 1.2.7. Any authenticated user can create a valid API token for any other user, including administrators, by supplying the target's user ID in a POST /api/user/tokens/ request. The token is immediately usable for full API authentication.
- CVE-2026-35477Medium
InvenTree from version 1.2.3 to 1.2.6 contains a remote code execution vulnerability. Although the template validator uses a sandbox, the renderer in part/helpers.py still uses a non-sandboxed environment, allowing a staff user to execute arbitrary code.
