CVE-2024-14045: OpenBoxes Product Supplier Edit Controller RoleInterceptor.groovy improper authorization

A weakness has been identified in OpenBoxes up to 0.9.2. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file grails-app/controllers/org/pih/warehouse/RoleInterceptor.groovy of the component Product Supplier Edit Controller. Executing a manipulation can lead to improper authorization. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 0.9.3 is able to resolve this issue. This patch is called f767ac1a5987d4865d9f158c6a967680f8e45468. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

OpenBoxes 0.9.2 and earlier may let an authenticated remote user perform Product Supplier editing actions without the required authorization. Successful abuse could expose, alter, or disrupt some application data or operations. Version 0.9.3 contains the identified correction.

Executive priority

Schedule prompt remediation, prioritizing remotely accessible deployments and environments with broadly issued user accounts. This is not evidenced as an emergency active-exploitation event, but public exploit material and potential data or operational impact justify timely action.

Technical view

The flaw is an improper authorization condition in grails-app/controllers/org/pih/warehouse/RoleInterceptor.groovy affecting the Product Supplier Edit Controller. The supplied CVSS v2 vector indicates network access, low complexity, single authentication, and partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Commit f767ac1a5987d4865d9f158c6a967680f8e45468 is identified as the fix.

Likely exposure

Likely exposure is limited to OpenBoxes 0.9.2 or earlier where authenticated users can remotely reach the affected Product Supplier editing functionality. The sources do not establish internet exposure, required user role, or whether default configurations are vulnerable.

Exploitation context

Public proof-of-concept material reportedly exists, increasing practical abuse risk. However, the bundle marks this CVE as absent from KEV and provides no evidence of active exploitation. Authentication is required according to the supplied CVSS v2 vector.

Researcher notes

CWE-266 and CWE-285 characterize privilege or authorization failures. The supplied affected list includes 0.9.3, while the description, patch, and release references identify 0.9.3 as fixed. Treat that entry as a source inconsistency and verify the installed commit rather than relying only on version metadata.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade affected OpenBoxes deployments to version 0.9.3 or later.
  • Confirm the deployed build includes commit f767ac1a5987d4865d9f158c6a967680f8e45468.
  • Restrict affected editing functionality to authorized users until upgrading.
  • Review vendor release and patch guidance before applying compensating controls.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory OpenBoxes versions and identify deployments running 0.9.2 or earlier.
  • Verify the installed release or source contains the cited authorization patch.
  • Test that unauthorized authenticated roles cannot access Product Supplier editing actions.
  • Review application logs for unexpected Product Supplier changes or denied authorization events.
