Security report (responsible disclosure - no public exploit details)

Affected commit: 1b003ec

All issues below are remotely triggerable by any connected player (client-triggered server events/callbacks with no server-side authorization).

---

1. IDOR: illenium-appearance:server:updateOutfit (server/server.lua:220)

Database.PlayerOutfits.Update (server/database/playeroutfits.lua:25) runs UPDATE player_outfits SET model = ?, components = ?, props = ? WHERE id = ? with no citizenid filter. Outfit IDs are auto-increment and enumerable, so any player can overwrite any other player's saved outfits (appearance data tampering).

2. IDOR: illenium-appearance:server:deleteOutfit (server/server.lua:272)

Database.PlayerOutfits.DeleteByID (playeroutfits.lua:34) runs DELETE FROM player_outfits WHERE id = ? with no ownership check. Any player can delete any other player's outfits.

3. Missing authorization: illenium-appearance:server:saveManagementOutfit (server/server.lua:248)

Direct INSERT INTO management_outfits with no job/grade check (compare getManagementOutfits at server.lua:136, which validates job + grade). Any player can inject management uniforms for any job/gang (e.g. police, MinRank=0), forcing arbitrary models on all job members.

4. Missing authorization: illenium-appearance:server:deleteManagementOutfit (server/server.lua:263)

DELETE FROM management_outfits WHERE id = ? with no auth. Enumerating IDs removes all job uniforms (persistent DoS).

5. Money duplication: illenium-appearance:server:payForTattoo (server/server.lua:105)

local cost = tattoo.cost or Config.TattooCost takes the cost from the client-supplied payload (sent from NUI, game/nui.lua:84). A negative value passed to Framework.RemoveMoney(src, 'cash', cost) results in a credit instead of a debit on both supported frameworks (ESX RemoveAccountMoney and QBCore PlayerData.money.cash - amount both add money for negative amounts; the ESX balance check at server/framework/esx/main.lua:25 also passes).

Impact

• Tampering/destruction of any player's saved outfits.
• Corruption/deletion of job & gang management uniforms server-wide.
• Unlimited in-game money duplication (ESX + QBCore).

Suggested fix

1. updateOutfit/deleteOutfit: verify ownership (e.g. local o = Database.PlayerOutfits.GetByID(id); if o and o.citizenid == citizenID then ...).
2. saveManagementOutfit/deleteManagementOutfit: validate job + grade server-side like getManagementOutfits does.
3. payForTattoo: never trust the client cost — clamp to Config.TattooCost or ignore tattoo.cost entirely.

I can provide full PoC payloads privately. There is no SECURITY.md / private vulnerability reporting enabled on this repo — happy to switch to a private channel if preferred.
