SCA: security update for admidio/admidio (GHSA-rwjr-qjj3-mq2f)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442511

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Admidio is an open-source user management solution. `modules/categories.php` checks that the supplied
 `type` parameter (`ANN`, `EVT`, `ROL`, `USF`, …) corresponds to a module the actor administers. The
 follow-up "is this specific category editable by me" check at lines 56-61 is dead code because it compares
 `$getType` (a category-type code) against mode names (`edit`/`save`/`delete`); the condition is
 permanently false, so `$category->isEditable()` is never invoked. Prior to version 5.0.10, the `delete`,
 `sequence`, and `save` switch cases load the category by the supplied UUID and act on it without re-
 checking that the category belongs to a module the actor administers. A user holding only one module-
 administrator right can therefore destroy or reorder empty categories belonging to *other* modules — for
 example, an announcements administrator can delete role categories, profile-field categories, or weblink
 categories that they have no right to touch. Version 5.0.10 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-47227)

Solution

Update the admidio/admidio library and its related packages to version 5.0.10 or later.
