Technical details

An insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in the ModifyEmailNotifications view in vinny/views.py. The view fetches a VinceCommEmail record by a raw primary key from the URL parameter without verifying that the requesting group-admin has authorization to access that record. An attacker with vendor-admin privileges can craft requests with arbitrary VinceCommEmail IDs to toggle the email_function or email_name fields for contacts belonging to other vendors. The vulnerability allows both information disclosure (reading email addresses and notification settings) and unauthorized modification of notification routing. A patch is available in version 3.0.44.
