Prior to 3.10.0, for the provisionally grouped account-creation and plugin-management surfaces, Leantime's JSON-RPC dispatcher in app/Domain/Api/Controllers/Jsonrpc.php exposes public API service methods, while PermissionEnforcer::enforce allows methods that lack a RequiresPermission attribute. A low-privilege authenticated user with an ordinary browser session can send the required X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest header and call leantime.rpc.api.api.createApiKeyWithProjects, which reaches Api::createApiKeyWithProjects, with an attacker-chosen role to create an interactive administrator account. The same missing per-method authorization exposes Plugins::installPlugin, Plugins::enablePlugin, Plugins::disablePlugin, and Plugins::removePlugin to ordinary authenticated users, permitting unauthorized plugin management. The complete provisionally grouped issue is fixed in version 3.10.0.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-85990)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `leantime/leantime < 3.10.0`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `leantime/leantime 3.10.0`\n\nSource: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-54mm-6729-r5wp","depth":"midnight","depthScore":60,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":48.4,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":223424,"id":"CVE-2026-85990","ts":1792191331255,"field":"exploit_available","old":"false","new":"true"}]}
