# Map-OS: operators can escalate to administrator via users API

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-125382 (this .md is for agents)

Map-OS versions 5.0.0 through 5.2.1 let a non-administrator operator with the cUsuario permission bypass protections in the REST users API. The operator can assign the Administrador group, reset the super administrator password, or delete higher-privileged users.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed Map-OS version; unknown whether the sources name a specific command or file.
- Look for operator accounts holding the `cUsuario` permission.

## Fix

- Move Map-OS to `5.2.2` or later (from the NVD range: before `5.2.2`).

## From the sources

Map-OS 5.0.0 to before 5.2.2 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the REST users API that allows non-administrator operators holding the cUsuario permission to bypass permission-delegation and super-administrator protections. Attackers can send POST, PUT, or DELETE requests to /api/v1/usuarios to assign the Administrador group, reset the super administrator password, or delete higher-privileged users.
