CVE-2022-38577: ProcessMaker before v3.5.4 was discovered to contain insecure permissions in the user profile page.
ProcessMaker before v3.5.4 was discovered to contain insecure permissions in the user profile page. This vulnerability allows attackers to escalate normal users to Administrators.
Security readout for executives and security teams
A regular ProcessMaker user could reportedly make themselves an administrator through insecure permissions on the user profile page. That can turn a low-privilege account into full application control, creating business risk around workflow integrity, sensitive data, and operational disruption. Exposure is most likely where ProcessMaker versions before v3.5.4 are deployed and normal user accounts can access the profile page. The source bundle does not provide CPEs, hosting scope, or detailed affected edition information. Treat this as a high-priority remediation if ProcessMaker is used. The risk is privilege escalation from ordinary account access to administrator control, which can compromise workflow data and business operations. Mitigation focus: Inventory ProcessMaker deployments and identify versions before v3.5.4.; Upgrade to v3.5.4 or later after confirming vendor guidance.; Restrict access to ProcessMaker until vulnerable instances are remediated..

Improper Preservation of Permissions
Improper Preservation of Permissions represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
