Summary
CoopCycle coopcycle-web before 6.20.1 contains an authorization bypass through a user-controlled key (CWE-639). Incident operations only check the ROLE_COURIER role, so any courier can read and modify every incident by enumerating sequential incident ids. An authenticated courier with low privileges can use the incident action endpoint to re-price, cancel or reschedule other stores' orders and tasks.
