Technical details

FunnelKit Automations (formerly Autonami) versions 3.7.3 and earlier are vulnerable to an authentication bypass (CWE-288). The flaw allows an authenticated user with low-level 'Subscriber' privileges to bypass intended access controls via an alternate path or channel. By exploiting this broken authentication, a malicious actor can execute functions typically reserved for higher-privileged users, which may lead to administrative access or significant service disruption. The vulnerability is remediated in version 3.8.0.
