Likely Mitigating ControlsAI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

addresses: CWE-862

Requiring an access control policy ensures authorization checks are defined and applied for critical functions.

addresses: CWE-862

Reviews of access controls detect missing authorization checks on critical functions or resources.

addresses: CWE-862

Documenting permitted unauthenticated actions prevents missing authorization by making all exceptions explicit and subject to organizational review.

addresses: CWE-862

Requiring attribute association with information prevents authorization from being performed without necessary security or privacy context.

addresses: CWE-862

Mandating authorization prior to allowing remote connections addresses missing authorization for remote access.

addresses: CWE-862

Mandating authorization before wireless connections are allowed prevents missing authorization for wireless access.

addresses: CWE-862

The control requires authorization before allowing mobile device connections, directly mitigating missing authorization for system access.

addresses: CWE-862

Requiring approvals for account creation and specifying authorizations ensures authorization is not missing for system access.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
T1098 Account Manipulation Persistence
Adversaries may manipulate accounts to maintain and/or elevate access to victim systems.
T1136 Create Account Persistence
Adversaries may create an account to maintain access to victim systems.
Why these techniques?

Missing authorization (CWE-862) on SCIM user/group management endpoints directly allows any authenticated user to perform unauthorized account CRUD, enabling privilege escalation and account manipulation.

NVD Description

Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to 3.38.2, packages/worker/src/api/routes/global/scim.ts attaches only two middlewares to the SCIM router: requireSCIM (checks the Enterprise feature flag and SCIM config) and doInScimContext (sets the SCIM request context). There is no role check. Any…
