AI-GeneratedLow-privileged users in ChurchCRM prior to version 7.4.0 can exploit a lack of proper authorization checks to access and exfiltrate the entire member directory, including sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This vulnerability allows unauthorized data export through the /CSVCreateFile.php endpoint, posing a significant risk to user privacy and data security. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to version 7.4.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. Prior to version 7.4.0, a low-privileged user can bypass the /admin/export UI and exfiltrate the entire member directory. The POST /CSVCreateFile.php endpoint generates and streams a CSV containing the full Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of every Person/Family record in the database, without performing any feature-level or object-level authorization check beyond the coarse "has any admin permission" gate inherited from the legacy page bootstrap. In other words, any single non-admin permission flag is enough to reach the CSV bulk-export endpoint, even though such users should not have data export rights. The export script is missing a dedicated isAdmin() (or a new bExportData) authorization check of its own. This issue has been fixed in version 7.4.0.
