# SuiteCRM: PDF generator lets any logged-in user read ACL-denied records

SuiteCRM's generatePdf entry point loads any record by ID without checking the requesting user's access rights. An authenticated user can read contact, financial, deal and custom-field data from records their ACL roles deny.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed SuiteCRM version in the application's about page or `composer.json`; versions before `7.15.2` and before `8.10.2` are affected.
- Confirm the file `modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/generatePdf.php` exists in the install.

## Fix

- SuiteCRM 7.x: move to `7.15.2`
- SuiteCRM 8.x: move to `8.10.2`

## From the sources

SuiteCRM is an open-source, enterprise-ready Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software application. Prior to 7.15.2 and 8.10.2, the generatePdf entry point loads an arbitrary record through BeanFactory::getBean() without checking the requesting user's record access. The affected flow begins at modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/generatePdf.php and uses generatePdf, and BeanFactory::getBean() to carry attacker-controlled data or authorization state into the security-sensitive operation. Any authenticated user can read fields from records denied by configured ACL roles, including contact, financial, deal, and custom-field data. This issue is fixed in versions 7.15.2 and 8.10.2.
