Vulnerabilities

CVE-2014-5196
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in improved-user-search-in-backend.php in the backend in the Improved user search in backend
Medium 4.3

The access label is read from the record's own text (e.g. “subscriber+”: subscriber and above). When the text names no role, CVSS decides between “login required” and “high privilege”; no role name is invented. “Needs a click”: the attack depends on a logged-in user following a link (CSRF, reflected XSS).
