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 · unedited
RuoYi-Vue-Plus through 5.6.2, fixed in commit 88d03d9, exposes workflow task management endpoints under /workflow/task (FlwTaskController) without any permission check: the controller declares no class-level or method-level authorization annotation, so the endpoints are gated only by global authentication. Any authenticated user, regardless of assigned role, can therefore reassign workflow approval tasks to arbitrary users via updateAssignee (defeating segregation of duties in the approval process), urge arbitrary tasks, and enumerate all pending and finished tasks via the pageByAllTaskWait and pageByAllTaskFinish listing endpoints. The issue was resolved by adding permission identifiers (SaCheckPermission) to these endpoints.

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
How this class of weakness works · CWE-862

The application checks who you are but not whether you're allowed to perform a given action, so any authenticated user can reach things meant for others. This is the classic “change the ID in the URL” bug. The fix is an authorization check on every request, evaluated against the acting user's permissions.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Latest version after 5.6.2 that incorporates commit 88d03d9

  1. 1. Identify the current RuoYi-Vue-Plus version in use by checking the project's pom.xml or version configuration file
  2. 2. Check the RuoYi-Vue-Plus repository releases page at https://github.com/dromara/RuoYi-Vue-Plus/releases to identify the latest stable version available after version 5.6.2
  3. 3. If a new release version exists that includes commit 88d03d9, upgrade to that version by updating the project dependencies or pulling the latest code
  4. 4. If no new release is available yet, manually apply the fix by reviewing commit 88d03d9 (https://github.com/dromara/RuoYi-Vue-Plus/commit/88d03d970d4d1e96e4fb2dfefaf19f627e8673e9) and adding SaCheckPermission annotations to the FlwTaskController endpoints
  5. 5. After applying the fix, verify that the /workflow/task endpoints now require appropriate permission checks by testing with users lacking the required permissions
  6. 6. Confirm that the updateAssignee, pageByAllTaskWait, and pageByAllTaskFinish endpoints are properly protected with role-based authorization
