What is CVE-2017-15055?

CVE-2017-15055 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Teampass Teampass, published on 27 Nov 2017. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

TeamPass before 2.1.27.9 does not properly enforce item access control when requesting items.queries.php. It is then possible to copy any arbitrary item into a directory controlled by the attacker, edit any item within a read-only directory, delete an arbitrary item, delete the file attachments of an arbitrary item, copy the password of an arbitrary item to the copy/paste buffer, access the history of an arbitrary item, and edit attributes of an arbitrary directory. To exploit the vulnerability, an authenticated attacker must tamper with the requests sent directly, for example by changing the "item_id" parameter when invoking "copy_item" on items.queries.php.

Weakness: CWE-269
