Admidio: Missing Minimum Administrator Check in Role Membership Removal

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 21.04.2026 Published: 07.05.2026 Updated: 07.05.2026

Admidio is an open-source user management solution. Prior to version 5.0.9, Role::stopMembership() does not verify whether removing a user from the administrator role leaves zero administrators. The deprecated Membership::stopMembership() contains this safety check, but the current code path bypasses it. Any administrator can remove the last remaining other administrator, locking the entire system out of administrative access. The exploit does not require concurrent requests; sequential removals produce the same result. This issue has been patched in version 5.0.9.
