Cloudreve: Privilege Scope Bypass: State-Mutating Admin Operations Accessible via Read-Only OAuth Scope
### Summary There is a privilege scope bypass in Cloudreve's admin API where two endpoints that mutate server state are missing the write-scope enforcement that their neighboring endpoints correctly apply. Specifically, the WOPI configuration fetch endpoint and the SMTP test/mail endpoint can both be triggered by an OAuth token that only has Admin.Read authorization — no Admin.Write needed. This breaks the intended OAuth scope boundary in a way that's subtle enough to have slipped through but meaningful enough to matter in a real deployment. ### Details The root cause is an inconsistency in how the admin tool routes are wired up in `routers/router.go`. The admin route group sets a baseline of `ScopeAdminRead` for everything underneath it (around line 868), and most write-capable endpoints inside the `tool` sub-group correctly layer on an additional `RequiredScopes(types.ScopeAdminWrite)` check on top of that. For example, the thumbnail executable setter (line 929) and the entity URL cache deletion (line 937) both do this properly. The two endpoints that don't follow this pattern are `tool.GET('wopi')` (line 925) and `tool.POST('mail')` (line 933). Despite `POST /mail` clearly triggering an outbound email and `GET /wopi` fetching or probing WOPI service connectivity, neither has the `ScopeAdminWrite` guard. What that means in practice is that any OAuth application granted only Admin.Read — a scope that should be limited to inspecting configuration, not changing anything — can
