Summary

Cloudreve 4.16.1 has an OAuth scope authorization bypass in the admin storage policy routes. An OAuth bearer token scoped to Admin.Read but not Admin.Write can call POST /api/v4/admin/policy/oauth/signin and update OneDrive storage policy credentials.
The route is inside the admin group that requires Admin.Read, but it does not add the local Admin.Write guard used by sibling policy mutation routes. Its handler persists attacker-supplied secret and app id values into the selected OneDrive storage policy before returning an OAuth URL.

Impact

An OAuth application that was granted only read-only admin scope can modify persistent storage backend configuration for a OneDrive policy. This can break the storage backend, replace the stored application secret and app ID, and redirect future OAuth setup for that policy to attacker-controlled application parameters. The attack crosses the intended OAuth scope boundary because Admin.Write is required for sibling storage policy mutation routes.

Reproduction

Preconditions:
  1. The instance has a OneDrive storage policy.
  2. An admin user authorizes an OAuth client for Admin.Read but not Admin.Write.
  3. The OAuth client obtains a bearer access token for that admin user.
Send the following request with that read-only admin scoped token:
http
POST /api/v4/admin/policy/oauth/signin HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer <admin OAuth token scoped to Admin.Read only>
Content-Type: application/json

{"id":1,"secret":"attacker-secret","app id":"attacker-app-id"}
Expected secure result: the request is rejected with an insufficient-scope error because it changes storage policy credentials.
Actual result: the request reaches AdminOdOAuthURL, and GetOauthRedirectService.GetOAuth() persists the supplied values to the storage policy.

Root cause

routers/router.go applies RequiredScopes(types.ScopeAdminRead) to the authenticated admin route group. Sibling policy mutation routes add local RequiredScopes(types.ScopeAdminWrite) guards, for example policy create, policy update, CORS creation, OAuth callback, and policy delete.
The OneDrive OAuth signin route is missing that local write-scope guard:
go
oauth.POST("signin",
  controllers.FromJSON[adminsvc.GetOauthRedirectService](adminsvc.GetOauthRedirectParamCtx{}),
  controllers.AdminOdOAuthURL,
)
The handler performs a persistent write in service/admin/policy.go:
go
policy.Settings.OauthRedirect = routes.MasterPolicyOAuthCallback(dep.SettingProvider().SiteURL(c)).String()
policy.SecretKey = service.Secret
policy.BucketName = service.AppID
policy, err = storagePolicyClient.Upsert(c, policy)
The request fields secret and app id come directly from the caller.

PoC evidence

A focused scope test confirmed that a request context with only Admin.Read fails CheckScope(c, types.ScopeAdminWrite), while Admin.Write implies Admin.Read. Therefore write routes must add RequiredScopes(types.ScopeAdminWrite) explicitly. The vulnerable route does not do so, and the handler writes the policy fields shown above.

Remediation

Add middleware.RequiredScopes(types.ScopeAdminWrite) to oauth.POST("signin", ...) before the JSON handler. Consider auditing other admin test routes that perform outbound network or mail actions under only Admin.Read, but this persistent credential update should be fixed first.

Fix

Incorrect Authorization
