CVE-2026-40350

Movary is a self hosted web app to track and rate a user's watched movies. Prior to version 0.71.1, an ordinary authenticated user can access the user-management endpoints `/settings/users` and use them to enumerate all users and create a new administrator account. This happens because the route definitions do not enforce admin-only middleware, and the controller-level authorization check uses a broken boolean condition. As a result, any user with a valid web session cookie can reach functionality that should be restricted to administrators. Version 0.71.1 patches the issue.

Summary		(es) Movary es una aplicación web autoalojada para rastrear y calificar las películas vistas por un usuario. Antes de la versión 0.71.1, un usuario autenticado ordinario puede acceder a los puntos finales de gestión de usuarios “/settings/users” y usarlos para enumerar a todos los usuarios y crear una nueva cuenta de administrador. Esto ocurre porque las definiciones de ruta no aplican middleware solo para administradores, y la comprobación de autorización a nivel de controlador utiliza una condición booleana defectuosa. Como resultado, cualquier usuario con una cookie de sesión web válida puede acceder a funcionalidad que debería estar restringida a los administradores. La versión 0.71.1 soluciona el problema.
