nautobot is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation
35
Low Risk
This Affects:
nautobotTL;DR
Nautobot gates Job execution behind the run permission, but the Job Hook dispatch path does not check it. A user who can manage Job Hooks but lacks the run permission can point a hook at a JobHookReceiver and trigger it by editing a matching object, causing the receiver code to run on the worker. This allows execution of job code the user is not authorized to run. The fix enforces the run permission on the Job Hook dispatch path, skipping dispatch when the responsible user lacks it.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you grant users permission to manage Job Hooks without granting them the run permission.
