CVE-2025-28410
📋 TL;DR
A privilege escalation vulnerability in RUoYi v.4.8.0 allows remote attackers to gain administrative privileges. The cancelAuthUserAll method fails to properly validate whether the requesting user has administrative permissions before executing privileged operations. This affects all deployments running the vulnerable version of RUoYi.
💻 Affected Systems

📦 What is this software?
Ruoyi by Ruoyi
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise where an attacker gains administrative control, can modify all user permissions, access sensitive data, and potentially execute arbitrary code.
Likely Case
Unauthorized privilege escalation allowing attackers to modify user roles, access administrative functions, and potentially pivot to other systems.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper network segmentation and least privilege principles, though administrative functions remain at risk.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authenticated access but minimal technical skill. Public references suggest exploit details are available.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check RUoYi repository for latest version > 4.8.0
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/yangzongzhuan/RuoYi
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup current installation. 2. Download latest RUoYi version from official repository. 3. Replace vulnerable files with patched version. 4. Restart application server. 5. Verify functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable cancelAuthUserAll endpoint
allTemporarily disable or restrict access to the vulnerable method endpoint
Modify application configuration to block /cancelAuthUserAll endpoint
Implement additional authentication layer
allAdd secondary authentication check for administrative functions
Implement middleware or filter to validate admin privileges before method execution
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network access controls to limit who can access the RUoYi application
- Enable detailed logging and monitoring for privilege escalation attempts and review logs regularly
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check application version in configuration files or via version endpoint. If version is 4.8.0, system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check application.properties or similar configuration file for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
After patching, test that cancelAuthUserAll method properly validates administrative privileges before execution.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unauthorized access to cancelAuthUserAll method
- Multiple privilege escalation attempts
- User role changes from non-admin to admin
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to cancelAuthUserAll endpoint from non-admin users
- Unusual pattern of administrative function access
