| ## 2024-03-24 - [Vulnerability Fixed] BOLA/IDOR in Global Roles Update | ||
| **Vulnerability Path:** The `updateRole` database query in `@repo/data-ops/queries/school-admin/roles.ts` was accepting a `roleId` and updating the role without verifying multi-tenant isolation or if the role was a system role. Since the `roles` table is global and lacks a `schoolId` column, any tenant could theoretically use the `updateExistingRole` function in `apps/school/src/school/functions/roles.ts` to modify a global system role (e.g., `super_admin` or `system_admin`), affecting all tenants globally. | ||
| **Action Taken:** Modified `updateRole` in `packages/data-ops/src/queries/school-admin/roles.ts` to add a backend validation check. It now verifies if `roleResult.value.isSystemRole` is true, and if so, strictly throws a `DatabaseError` of type `VALIDATION_ERROR` to block modification of system roles, enforcing cross-tenant and privilege escalation protection. |

Fix incident date to match the actual fix timeline.
Line 23 is dated 2024-03-24, but this fix was introduced in this PR (created on April 1, 2026). Please correct the heading date to preserve accurate security audit history.

System-role guard is good, but tenant authorization is still incomplete for non-system roles.
Line 127 blocks edits to system roles, but updateRole still updates by id only (Line 138) and does not verify tenant ownership (schoolId) for non-system roles. That leaves a remaining cross-tenant IDOR path for editable roles.

Vulnerability Path
The
updateRoledatabase query in@repo/data-ops/queries/school-admin/roles.tswas vulnerable to Cross-Tenant IDOR/BOLA. Because therolestable lacks aschoolIdcolumn, roles are effectively global and shared across all tenants. TheupdateRolequery accepted aroleIdand directly updated the role by itsidwithout verifying multi-tenant isolation or verifying if the target role was a protected system role. Consequently, a user from any tenant invoking theupdateExistingRolefunction could modify a global role (likesuper_adminorsystem_admin), leading to privilege escalation that affected all tenants globally.Action Taken
I modified
updateRoleinpackages/data-ops/src/queries/school-admin/roles.tsto incorporate a backend validation check, similar to the existingdeleteRolesafeguard. Before updating the role, it now verifies ifroleResult.value.isSystemRoleis true. If so, it strictly throws aDatabaseErrorof typeVALIDATION_ERROR(following the No-Throw policy by returning a structured error message). This blocks the modification of system roles entirely, effectively securing the platform against this cross-tenant BOLA and privilege escalation vector.
