How broadly exploitable is this vulnerability?

Exploitability depends on how the RuoYi instance is deployed. If the update endpoint is reachable to general users or from the internet, a large portion of authenticated users—or in misconfigured cases, unauthenticated callers—may be able to tamper with data outside their scope.

Does an attacker need high privileges to exploit this?

Not typically. This class of issue is often exploitable by low-privileged or ordinary users who can access the update functionality. The weakness lies in missing or incorrect authorization around which records may be modified, not in the initial authentication step.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The strongest fix is to enforce strict, server-side authorization checks on every update, ensuring that the requested record belongs to the caller's allowed scope (e.g., same user, department, or tenant) and that their role explicitly permits the modification of that record and those fields.
