CVE-2025-58053
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedGalette is a membership management web application for non profit organizations. Prior to version 1.2.0, while updating any existing account with a self forged POST request, one can gain higher privileges. Version 1.2.0 fixes the issue.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceGalette membership management web application prior to version 1.2.0 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability where authenticated users can manipulate POST requests during account updates to gain elevated privileges beyond those originally assigned to their account.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Galette installation and versionLocate the Galette installation directory (typically in web root). Check the version by examining the main version file, composer.json, or the application header/admin page. Compare the installed version number against the 1.2.0 threshold.Affected if Installed version is below 1.2.0
-
Confirm web application accessibilityVerify the Galette web interface is network-accessible (HTTP/HTTPS). Since this is a POST-based IDOR vulnerability, the application must be reachable over the network for an attacker to forge requests.Affected if Galette is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS on any network interface
-
Review user account privilege changesCheck the Galette user management logs or database for any recent modifications to user permission levels (such as changes to administrator, super administrator, or group memberships) that were not initiated by authorized administrators.Affected if Unexpected or unauthorized privilege escalation entries exist in logs or user tables
-
Audit admin user accountsQuery the users table in the Galette database to list all accounts with elevated privileges (administrator, superadmin roles). Compare the current list against documented/expected administrator accounts.Affected if There are administrator accounts that were not created by known, authorized personnel
If Galette is installed at a version below 1.2.0 and is web-accessible, the IDOR privilege escalation vulnerability is present in the environment.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped1.2.0
Upgrade Galette to version 1.2.0 or later. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, review and restrict user permission assignments and monitor for unauthorized privilege changes in the application.
1.2.0
- Backup the Galette database before starting the upgrade process
- Backup all existing Galette files and configuration
- Download Galette version 1.2.0 from the official repository (github.com/galette/galette)
- Extract the new version files to replace the existing installation
- Copy the configuration file (config.inc.php) from the backup to the new installation
- Run any database migration scripts included in the 1.2.0 release if applicable
- Verify the installation by accessing the Galette web interface
- Test that regular users cannot escalate privileges through account modification
