Technical details

This is a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the admin.users.php component that lacks token verification on user group deletion operations. An authenticated administrator can be exploited through a network-based attack vector (malicious link or page) that causes unwanted actions in the administrator's session without their knowledge, resulting in deletion of custom groups and permissions.
