Technical details

The vulnerability stems from loose PHP type comparison (`!=`) in the `postValidateCustomer()` function when checking verification codes, combined with the booking AJAX controller registering all methods as unauthenticated CSRF-unprotected handlers. Attackers exploit this by submitting the JSON boolean `true` as the verification code, which passes the loose comparison against the session's integer code due to PHP's type juggling rules. An attacker with network access can perform customer record modifications without authentication or CSRF token validation.
