CVE-2026-71505 — Dolibarr < 24.0.0 REST API Broken Object-Level Authorization via Third-Party Write Route
Dolibarr before 24.0.0 contains a broken object-level authorization vulnerability in the REST API third-party site account write routes that allows authenticated attackers with third-party creation rights to overwrite the WebPortal password of any company by bypassing per-object access checks that are only enforced on read routes. Attackers can replace the victim company's WebPortal password through the write endpoint, authenticate as that company to access its invoice data, and also obtain the victim's previous password verifier from the API response.

Remediation
The vendor's own words where we have them.
Upgrade dolibarr to a fixed release. Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.
- Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
- Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

Answered from this record1
What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-71505 is Dolibarr < 24.0.0 REST API Broken Object-Level Authorization via Third-Party Write Route, a high vulnerability affecting dolibarr from Dolibarr. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Active exploitation is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-71505. Public exploit evidence is: A public PoC is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-71505. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 7.1 describes technical severity, while EPSS 0% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
