Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2026-42540 is a mass assignment vulnerability in DFIR-IRIS affecting versions up to and including 2.4.27. The application accepts manipulated API parameters and passes request data into object/schema loading logic without strict server-side allowlisting of writable fields. Reported vulnerable paths include /manage/asset-type/update/int:cur_id, /manage/asset-type/add, /user/update, and administrator user-management update functionality. In the asset type workflow, schema loading such as AssetTypeSchema.load(request.form, instance=asset_type) permits unintended modification of backend attributes, including object identifiers. In user-related workflows, crafted requests can modify sensitive properties not intended to be user-controlled via the GUI, including UUIDs, MFA secrets, MFA activation state, service-account status, usernames/logins, and active state. The issue is therefore an improper restriction on dynamically assigned object properties, enabling unauthorized modification of database-backed fields through crafted requests.
