Technical details
The vulnerability exists in CWPUserIndex's unauthenticatedFlow() method, which calls toLoginWithIntendedUri() to emit a redirect header without calling exit(). This allows PHP execution to continue, enabling the module dispatcher to include code without proper authentication validation. An attacker with network access and a valid hosting username can chain this bypass to reach module code paths normally restricted to authenticated users.
