## What is CVE-2025-64490?

CVE-2025-64490 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Salesagility Suitecrm, published on 8 Nov 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Versions 7.14.7 and prior, 8.0.0-beta.1 through 8.9.0 allow a low-privileged user with a restrictive role to view and create work items through the Resource Calendar and project screens, even when the related modules (Projects, Project Tasks, Tasks, Leads, Accounts, Meetings, Calls) are explicitly set to Disabled/None in Role Management. This indicates inconsistent ACL/RBAC enforcement across modules and views, resulting in unauthorized data exposure and modification. This issue is fixed in versions 7.14.8 and 8.9.1.

Weakness: CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization)
