• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.4% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known

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 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability where user sessions are not invalidated upon account deactivation. An inactive user with an active session can continue to access the application and, critically, can self-reactivate their account. This undermines administrative controls and allows unauthorized persistence. This issue is fixed in versions 7.14.8 and 8.9.1.

Affected products

• salesagility SuiteCRM: before 7.14.8; from 8.0.0 before 8.9.1 — fixed in 7.14.8, 8.9.1

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: salesagility SuiteCRM 7.14.8, 8.9.1. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
