Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization, where the product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. In Derhansen/sf event mgt, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A missing access check in the backend module allows an authenticated backend user to export participant data for events which the user does not have access to, resulting in Information Disclosure. Another missing access check in the backend module allows an authenticated backend user to send emails to event participants for events which the user does not have access to, resulting in Broken Access Control.
