CVE-2026-1203

5.6 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass authentication in CRMEB systems by manipulating the uid parameter in the remoteRegister function. It affects CRMEB versions up to 5.6.3, potentially allowing unauthorized access to user accounts and administrative functions. Organizations using vulnerable CRMEB installations are at risk.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • CRMEB
Versions: Up to and including 5.6.3
Operating Systems: All
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the JSON Token Handler component in the remoteRegister function. All installations with vulnerable versions are affected regardless of configuration.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise where attackers gain administrative privileges, access sensitive customer data, modify system configurations, or deploy additional malware.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to user accounts leading to data theft, privilege escalation, or manipulation of business operations within the CRMEB platform.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper network segmentation, strong authentication controls, and monitoring that detects anomalous authentication attempts.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: HIGH

Exploit requires manipulation of the uid parameter and understanding of the authentication flow. Public proof-of-concept exists but requires specific conditions to execute successfully.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider upgrading to latest CRMEB version if available, or implement workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Enhancement

all

Add strict validation for uid parameter in remoteRegister function to prevent manipulation

Edit crmeb/app/services/user/LoginServices.php to add uid validation

Authentication Bypass Protection

all

Implement additional authentication checks before processing remoteRegister requests

Add session validation and CSRF tokens to remoteRegister endpoint

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to isolate CRMEB systems from critical infrastructure
  • Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block authentication bypass attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check CRMEB version in system configuration or by examining version files. Versions ≤5.6.3 are vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check CRMEB configuration files or admin panel for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Test authentication bypass attempts after implementing workarounds. Successful authentication should require valid credentials.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual authentication patterns
  • Multiple failed login attempts followed by successful login from same IP
  • Requests to remoteRegister with manipulated uid parameters

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing manipulated uid parameters in authentication endpoints
  • Unusual traffic patterns to LoginServices.php

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND (uri="/remoteRegister" OR uri="*LoginServices.php*") AND (param="uid" AND value NOT matching expected patterns)
