Technical details
The vulnerability is a classic IDOR (CWE-639: Authorization bypass through User-Controlled key) affecting the profile album endpoint. An authenticated attacker can supply an arbitrary member_id in a POST request to delete profile pictures belonging to any other user without authorization checks. The attack requires only valid authentication as any user (including a student) and network access to the endpoint. An attacker can permanently remove profile pictures of other users, potentially including instructors and administrators. The product is no longer actively supported and the vulnerability has not been patched. Version 2.2.4 was confirmed vulnerable; other versions have not been tested but may be affected.
