The vulnerability allows remote attackers to gain unauthenticated or unauthorized access by client-side token manipulation. The token vulnerability is located in the function of the `LoginAs` module. Remote attackers are able to perform LoginAs requests without session token to preview there profiles. The attack requires user account privileges for manipulation of the request. The admin panel allows to request via token the local user accounts to login as via account switch. In that moment the token of the request can be removed to perform the same interaction with user privileges. Thus allows to access other account information without administrative permissions. The permission approval on login request is insufficient regarding a misconfiguration on the token implementation (client-side). Successful exploitation of the web vulnerability results in information disclosure, user or admin account compromise and elevation of privileges by further exploitation. Request Method(s): [+] GET Vulnerable Module(s): [+] /login/ Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] token Affected Parameter(s): [+] loginas Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The token web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with simple user privileges without user interaction.
