description

Leantime versions before 3.10.0 expose JSON-RPC service methods without required per-method permission checks. An authenticated low-privilege user can create an administrator account and perform plugin-management actions through the affected API methods.

mitigation

Upgrade Leantime to version 3.10.0 or later. Restrict access to Leantime to trusted authenticated users until the upgrade is complete.
