Описание
Users with ROLE_COURSE_ADMIN can create new users in Opencast
Impact
Users with the role ROLE_COURSE_ADMIN can use the user-utils endpoint to create new users not including the role ROLE_ADMIN. For example:
ROLE_COURSE_ADMIN is a non-standard role in Opencast which is referenced neither in the documentation nor in any code (except for tests) but only in the security configuration. From the name – implying an admin for a specific course – users would never expect that this role allows user creation.
Patches
This issue is fixed in 7.6 and 8.1 which both ship a new default security configuration.
Workarounds
You can fix this issue by removing all instances of ROLE_COURSE_ADMIN in your organization's security configuration (etc/security/mh_default_org.xml by default).
