CVE-2026-40350
CWE-863Published: April 18, 2026· Updated: Apr 20, 2026
Official Description
Movary is a self hosted web app to track and rate a user's watched movies. Prior to version 0.71.1, an ordinary authenticated user can access the user-management endpoints `/settings/users` and use them to enumerate all users and create a new administrator account. This happens because the route definitions do not enforce admin-only middleware, and the controller-level authorization check uses a broken boolean condition. As a result, any user with a valid web session cookie can reach functionality that should be restricted to administrators. Version 0.71.1 patches the issue.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-40350 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.
