{"cve":"CVE-2023-32677","nvd":{"published":"2023-05-19T21:15:08.740","modified":"2026-06-17T05:59:22.163","status":"Modified","description":"Zulip is an open-source team collaboration tool with unique topic-based threading. Zulip administrators can configure Zulip to limit who can add users to streams, and separately to limit who can invite users to the organization. In Zulip Server 6.1 and below, the UI which allows a user to invite a new user also allows them to set the streams that the new user is invited to -- even if the inviting user would not have permissions to add an existing user to streams. While such a configuration is likely rare in practice, the behavior does violate security-related controls. This does not let a user invite new users to streams they cannot see, or would not be able to add users to if they had that general permission. This issue has been addressed in version 6.2. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may limit sending of invitations down to users who also have the permission to add users to streams.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":3.1},"cwes":["CWE-862"],"references":["https://github.com/zulip/zulip/commit/7c2693a2c64904d1d0af8503b57763943648cbe5","https://github.com/zulip/zulip/security/advisories/GHSA-mrvp-96q6-jpvc","https://zulip.com/help/configure-who-can-invite-to-streams","https://zulip.com/help/restrict-account-creation#change-who-can-send-invitations","https://github.com/zulip/zulip/commit/7c2693a2c64904d1d0af8503b57763943648cbe5"],"products":["zulip:zulip"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:38:18.424950729+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-32677","score":0.00563,"percentile":0.46841,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
