Gokapi has privilege escalation via incomplete API-key permission revocation on user rank demotion

Published: 3/5/2026Modified: 3/23/2026

Description

### Summary A privilege escalation vulnerability in the user rank demotion logic allows a demoted user's existing API keys to retain ApiPermManageFileRequests and ApiPermManageLogs permissions, enabling continued access to upload-request management and log viewing endpoints after the user has been stripped of all privileges. ### Impact Any user who previously held Admin rank and had API keys with ApiPermManageFileRequests or ApiPermManageLogs retains those capabilities after demotion. This allows offboarded or demoted users to: - Create, list, and delete upload requests - Read application logs and system status
