CVE-2026-81818
Severity CVSS v4.0:
HIGH
Type:
CWE-269
Improper Privilege Management
Publication date:

Description
Affected versions of Flowintel contain an authorization flaw in the administrative user-edit API.<br />
<br />
<br />
The existing authorization check correctly prevented an organization administrator from editing users in another organization, but it did not prevent them from editing a full administrator within their own organization. As a result, an org admin could modify that full administrator account, including changing its password. The upstream commit explicitly describes the issue as:<br />
<br />
<br />
“Org admin can change the password of a full admin in the same organization.”<br />
<br />
<br />
The fix adds a higher-privilege boundary check:<br />
<br />
<br />
if user_to_edit.is_admin(): return ... 403<br />
<br />
so organization administrators can no longer modify full administrator accounts.<br />
<br />
