Summary

Thecosy IceCMS through 4.1.5 does not require authentication for its /User administrative endpoints, because that path is excluded from the JWT authentication filter (CWE-306). An unauthenticated remote attacker can send requests that change the password and role of any account, including administrators, or delete or disable accounts, which enables full account takeover.

Description from the CNA

IceCMS through 4.1.5 contains a missing authentication vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to modify, delete, or disable any account because /User/** is excluded from the Shiro jwt filter. Attackers can send PUT requests to /User/updateUser to set a new password and role on any userId, including administrators, enabling full account takeover.
