  • Impersonate the user and access all information with the same rights as the target user.

2. Information Disclosure

Under certain conditions, the Live Auction application allows an attacker to access information that would otherwise be restricted.

  • Loss of information and system configuration confidentiality.
  • Information gathering for further exploits and attacks.

CVSS Score: 4.3 (NLLN | U | LNN)
