{"id":"CVE-2026-47227","summary":"Admidio module-administrator can delete or reorder categories owned by other modules via dead authorization check in `modules/categories.php`","details":"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-\u003eisEditable()` 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.","aliases":["GHSA-rwjr-qjj3-mq2f"],"modified":"2026-08-14T03:51:39.235905609Z","published":"2026-08-12T12:58:29.719Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-639","CWE-863"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/47xxx/CVE-2026-47227.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/Admidio/admidio/security/advisories/GHSA-rwjr-qjj3-mq2f"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/47xxx/CVE-2026-47227.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-47227"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/admidio/admidio","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"8f7a2884e9dc9c51968046d9e6cbd6cb8fda46db"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.0.10"}],"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD"}}],"versions":["v5.0.9","v5.0.8","v5.0.7","v5.0.6","v5.0.5","v5.0.4","v34","v5.0.3","v5.0.2","v5.0.1","v5.0.0","v5.0-Beta.3","v5.0-Beta.2","v5.0-Beta.1","v4.3-Beta.1","v4.1-Beta.2","v4.0-Beta.1","v3.2-Beta.1","v3.1.5","v3.0.6","3.0-Beta.3","3.0-Beta.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-47227.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"}]}
