When a user account is disabled, its session is not properly invalidated. Disabled users can continue to access and operate the application via valid sessions, and even re-enable their own accounts. Specific Issues: - Active sessions are not invalidated: Users with disabled accounts can continue accessing the system using old sessions. - Privilege escalation: Disabled users can modify their own account status, thereby restoring their account to an active state. Impact Confidentiality: Disabled users can continue accessing sensitive CRM data. Integrity: Disabled users can modify their account status and alter records. Availability: User lifecycle management may be abused, bypassing administrative intent (i.e., account disabling). Root Cause Analysis Cause: - SuiteCRM does not invalidate sessions when a user’s account status changes. - Lack of authorization checks to restrict non-administrator roles from modifying status fields. Recommended Remediation Measures 1. Session Invalidation: Immediately destroy active sessions when a user account is disabled. 2. Access Control: Restrict modification of status fields to administrator roles only. 3. Defense in Depth: Implement continuous session validation, checking session validity against user status at the time of each request.
