Description

Impact

An malicious user can send DELETE request to the account deletion endpoint from another server without CSRF enabled on the endpoint. Certain conditions needs to be met such as

  • The user account must be authenticated and within an active session
  • The user is tricked to deleting their own account by clicking on an action button

Note: This kind of attack would be challenging without the conditions being present.

Patches

  • Issue has been fixed on v4.2.8

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
