Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-94.

Summary

XenForo before 2.3.7 does not properly restrict methods callable from within templates. A loose prefix match was used instead of a stricter first-word match for methods accessible through callbacks and variable method calls in templates, potentially allowing unauthorized method invocations.
