IDOR Flaws in MphRx Minerva Expose User Data and Enable Account Takeover
MphRx's Minerva 3.6.0 was found to contain two high-severity insecure direct object reference vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2026-5779 and CVE-2026-5780, that let authenticated users bypass authorization controls. The first issue affects the /minerva/user/updateUserProfile endpoint and allows a logged-in user to modify another registered user's profile information. The second affects /minerva/moUser/show/, where changing an ID parameter can expose other users' data, including user listings, without proper access checks.
The profile-modification flaw can be chained with the /webconnect/#/forgotPassword function to trigger password resets for other users, creating a path to full account takeover. Both CVEs were classified under CWE-284 and published through CVE records referencing an INCIBE-CERT advisory on multiple vulnerabilities in Minerva, with scoring that indicates low attack complexity, low privileges required, and significant confidentiality and integrity impact.
