Summary

Dolibarr before 24.0.0 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in the expense report REST API update endpoint. Authenticated attackers with expense-creation rights can bypass the approval workflow by directly setting approval status and approver identity fields. Attackers can manipulate workflow state fields to advance expense reports to approved or closed status without possessing the dedicated approval right, while also creating forensic inconsistencies in audit records due to missing approval timestamps.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes unauthorized approval of expenses, potentially leading to financial abuse and compromise of business process integrity.

Recommendation

Upgrade Dolibarr to version 24.0.0 or later. Also enforce proper approval permissions at the API level.
