Technical details
The vulnerability is an authorization bypass in the list controller's doempty endpoint.

An attacker with network access to the Joomla installation can trigger table deletion without authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability affects Fabrik versions before 4.7.2 and has been patched in later releases.
