CVE-2026-53901
Cerebrate before v1.37 allows mass assignment of record identifiers during object creation
Description
Cerebrate before version 1.37 contains a mass-assignment vulnerability in the generic CRUD add path. The add() handler attempted to remove an attacker-supplied id from $params before normalizing the request through __massageInput(). Because the normalized $input could still contain an id field, a user able to reach an affected add endpoint could supply an identifier that should have been server-controlled. Successful exploitation could allow creation of objects with attacker-chosen identifiers, potentially causing unauthorized data manipulation, object spoofing, inconsistent references, or disruption through identifier collisions, depending on the affected model and endpoint permissions. The issue was fixed in v1.37 by removing id from the normalized input before entity patching.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: Cerebrate, Description: Cerebrate antes de la versión 1.37 contiene una vulnerabilidad de asignación masiva en la ruta genérica de adición CRUD. El gestor add() intentó eliminar un id proporcionado por el atacante de $params antes de normalizar la solicitud a través de __massageInput(). Debido a que el $input normalizado aún podía contener un campo id, un usuario capaz de alcanzar un endpoint de adición afectado podría proporcionar un identificador que debería haber sido controlado por el servidor. La explotación exitosa podría permitir la creación de objetos con identificadores elegidos por el atacante, lo que podría causar manipulación de datos no autorizada, suplantación de objetos, referencias inconsistentes o interrupción a través de colisiones de identificadores, dependiendo del modelo afectado y los permisos del endpoint. El problema se solucionó en la v1.37 eliminando el id de la entrada normalizada antes del parcheo de la entidad. -
