Description

Summary The User management API endpoints (`GET /api/v1/users` and `GET /api/v1/users/{id}`) are accessible to any authenticated user without admin/owner role verification, exposing all users' email addresses, roles, and account status. Affected Endpoints 1. GET /api/v1/users (UserController::index, line 94) — Lists ALL users with full details. No role check. 2. GET /api/v1/users/{id} (UserController::show, line 126) — Shows any user's details by ID. No role check. Root Cause (1-of-N Inconsistency) Other methods in the same controller properly check for the 'owner' role: • `store()` — `UserStoreRequest::authorize()` checks `auth()->user()->hasRole('owner')` ✓ • `destroy()` — Explicitly checks `$this->repository->hasRole($admin, 'owner')` ✓ But `index()` and `show()` have no role check at all. The route group at `routes/api.php:734-747` has no admin middleware, only the global `auth:api` middleware. Exposed Data The `UserTransformer` (line 40-54) returns: • `email` — user's email address • `role` — user's role (owner/demo) • `blocked` — account blocked status • `blocked_code` — block reason • `created_at` / `updated_at` — timestamps Impact Any authenticated user can: 1. Enumerate ALL user accounts in the instance 2. Harvest email addresses for phishing/social engineering 3. Identify admin/owner accounts by role 4. Determine which accounts are blocked Exploitation ```bash List all users curl -H "Authorization: Bearer " https://instance/api/v1/users View specific user details curl -H "Authorization: Bearer " https://instance/api/v1/users/1 ``` Suggested Fix Add owner role checks to `index()` and `show()`, or restrict the route group with admin middleware: ```php // Option 1: Add check in controller methods public function show(User $user): JsonResponse { if (!$this->repository->hasRole(auth()->user(), 'owner') && auth()->user()->id !== $user->id) { throw new FireflyException('200025: No access to function.'); } // ... } // Option 2: Add middleware to route group Route::group(['middleware' => ['admin'], ...], ...) ```
