Casdoor: Improper Privilege Management
CVE-2026-15630 is a critical-severity improper privilege management vulnerability in Casdoor, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.9 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version v4.2.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating Casdoor to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.47% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.

Official description
A non-global organization admin in one tenant can bypass tenant boundaries to delete, create, or modify resources in any other tenant by exploiting a mismatch between authorization (based on ?id=) and action (based on request body).

The underlying weakness: Improper Privilege Management
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
- Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
- Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
