# OpenCATS: authenticated users can view EEO demographic reports without permission

OpenCATS before 0.10.0 skips the canSeeEEOInfo permission check in ReportsUI::handleRequest(). A logged-in user can call the customizeEEOReport and generateEEOReportPreview actions to read aggregate ethnicity, veteran, gender and disability statistics.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed OpenCATS version; affected releases are those before `0.10.0`.
- Review which accounts have a login and whether low-privilege roles can reach the reports module.

## Fix

- Upgrade OpenCATS to `0.10.0` or later.
- Until upgraded, restrict access to the reports module to users who already hold the EEO permission.

## From the sources

OpenCATS before 0.10.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in ReportsUI::handleRequest() that allows authenticated users to view EEO demographic reports without the canSeeEEOInfo permission. Attackers can invoke the customizeEEOReport and generateEEOReportPreview actions to view aggregate ethnicity, veteran, gender and disability statistics.
