Technical details
A missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in Kiwi TCMS where the '/init-db/' endpoint remains active and accessible to unauthenticated users after the initial database setup. The endpoint serves as a web-based wrapper for the 'manage.py migrate' command. Because Django migrations are designed to be reentrant, subsequent requests to this page by an attacker result in a 'No migrations to apply' message. The impact is limited to a minor integrity concern at the UI layer, as no application state is altered and no confidential data is exposed. The vulnerability has been addressed by modifying the endpoint to short-circuit and return a no-op if migrations have already been applied.
