CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit an insecure object cache keying mechanism in phpIPAM versions prior to 1.8.2, granting them full access to the REST API. This critical flaw enables attackers to manipulate IP address management records, including reading, writing, and deleting data, by leveraging a numeric database row identifier as an API token. Organizations using phpIPAM should prioritize immediate patching to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and potential data loss.

Original NVD Description
phpIPAM before 1.8.2 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the REST API that allows unauthenticated attackers to gain full API access by exploiting an insecure object cache keying mechanism. The cache is keyed by lookup value alone without including the searched column, enabling an entry written during an app_id lookup to satisfy a subsequent app_code lookup, allowing attackers to use the numeric database row identifier as an API token to read, write, and delete all IP address management records.
