Technical details

An authorization bypass in channel-edit.php stems from the server trusting a submitted agencyid parameter rather than deriving it from the authenticated user's account context. An authenticated manager-level user can modify the agencyid form field to create delivery rule sets in another agency's account. The fix in version 6.0.9 obtains the agency identifier from the authenticated session rather than form data.
