Unknown · Livebox Collaboration Vdesk · CVE-2022-45178
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
LIVEBOX Collaboration vDesk versions through v018
**Description**
An issue exists in the software due to Broken Access Control. This issue affects several API endpoints: "/api/v1/vdeskintegration/saml/user/createorupdate", "/settings/guest-settings", "/settings/samlusers-settings", and "/settings/users-settings". A malicious user who is already logged in as a SAML User can escalate privileges from a low-privilege user (FGM user) to an administrative user (GGU user), including the administrator, or create new users without needing an admin role.
**Recommendations**
For LIVEBOX Collaboration vDesk versions through v018, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the affected API endpoints until a patch is available. Additionally, restrict the ability to create new users and limit privilege escalation to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
