Summary
Admidio prior to version 5.0.10 has a vulnerability in `modules/categories.php` where the per-category permission check is dead code because it compares `$getType` (a category-type code) against mode names (`edit`/`save`/`delete`), which is permanently false. Consequently, the `delete`, `sequence`, and `save` cases load the category by UUID and act on it without re-checking that the category belongs to a module the actor administers. A user with only one module-administrator right can destroy or reorder empty categories belonging to other modules.
Risk Assessment
A user can unauthorizedly modify categories in other modules, compromising data integrity and access control.
Recommendation
Upgrade Admidio to version 5.0.10 or later, which includes a fix.
Other vulnerabilities in Admidio
See all- CVE-2026-109327Medium
Admidio 4.0.12 through 4.3.17 and 5.0.0 before 5.0.15 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in system/redirect.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject JavaScript via the url GET parameter, due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-43810. Attackers can craft a javascript: URL containing a decoy http:// segment that passes validation and executes script in the Admidio origin when victims click the redirect link.
- CVE-2026-41660High
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.9, a logic error in Admidio's two-factor authentication reset inverts the authorization check, allowing non-admin users to remove other users' TOTP configurations, including administrators.
- CVE-2026-109329Medium
Admidio 4.3.2 through 4.3.17 and 5.0.0 before 5.0.15 contains a broken access control vulnerability that allows role administrators to assign users to roles in other organizations. Attackers can submit crafted assign requests to members_assignment.php with a foreign role UUID to gain privileged membership, log into that organization, and edit its user profiles.
- CVE-2026-109328Medium
Admidio 5.0.0 before 5.0.15 contains an unauthenticated stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in RegistrationPresenter.php, which inserts the raw FIRST_NAME registration value into an unencoded data-message attribute. Attackers can register with a double-quoted event handler that executes JavaScript in an administrator's session when they hover the entry on the Manage registrations page.
- CVE-2026-53760Medium
Admidio up to version 5.0.11 has a CSRF vulnerability in modules/plugins.php, where plugin installation, uninstallation, and update operations are performed via GET requests without CSRF token validation. An attacker can craft a malicious page that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, triggers arbitrary plugin operations, including uninstallation, which executes DROP TABLE SQL scripts and destroys plugin data.
- CVE-2026-82658Medium
Admidio versions before 5.0.12 contain a broken access control vulnerability in profile_function.php that allows authenticated low-privilege users to read another user's future role memberships. Attackers can bypass profile-level authorization by directly calling the reload_future_memberships endpoint with a victim's user UUID to disclose sensitive membership information.
- CVE-2026-82657High
Admidio before version 5.0.12 fails to enforce login-only module restrictions in RSS feed endpoints for forum and announcements modules. Unauthenticated attackers can retrieve forum topics and announcements by sending GET requests to rss/forum.php or rss/announcements.php, disclosing titles, full post text, author names, and timestamps.
- CVE-2026-82656Low
Admidio before 5.0.12 fails to sanitize album names in the photo ZIP download functionality, allowing authenticated users with album-creation rights to include path traversal segments in archive entry names. This can lead to writing files outside the target directory when recipients extract the archive.
- CVE-2026-82655High
Admidio before version 5.0.12 contains a blind SQL injection vulnerability in the relation_type_list parameter of lists_show.php that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries. Attackers can bypass authentication by providing a dummy UUID in role_list and inject SQL through relation_type_list to extract database contents including password hashes and user credentials.
- CVE-2026-47234Medium
Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.10, when debug logging is enabled, `Session::setCookie()` logs full cookie values and `Session::start()` logs the current session ID. In a real Admidio deployment this includes both the active session cookie and the persistent auto-login cookie. Anyone with access to the log sink can recover live bearer-style credentials from the logs. Version 5.0.10 contains a fix.
Original NVD description (English source)
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.
