Technical details

OpenCATS fails to perform authorization checks on AJAX endpoints (newList.php, editListName.php, deleteList.php, addToLists.php) that manage saved lists, allowing authenticated read-only users to perform write operations on any list via direct requests with arbitrary savedListID parameters. The vulnerability requires prior authentication but no special privileges to exploit, and permits attackers to alter or destroy any saved list across the site.
