What is CVE-2017-15052?
CVE-2017-15052 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Teampass Teampass, published on 27 Nov 2017. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Official description
TeamPass before 2.1.27.9 does not properly enforce manager access control when requesting users.queries.php. It is then possible for a manager user to delete an arbitrary user (including admin), or modify attributes of any arbitrary user except administrator. To exploit the vulnerability, an authenticated attacker must have the manager rights on the application, then tamper with the requests sent directly, for example by changing the "id" parameter when invoking "delete_user" on users.queries.php.
Weakness: CWE-269
