Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Minerva version 3.6.0

Description An insecure direct object reference (IDOR) issue exists in the '/minerva/user/updateUserProfile' endpoint. This improper access control allows an authenticated user to modify the profiles of other registered users, including changing their email addresses. Subsequently, an attacker can use the '/webconnect/#/forgotPassword' endpoint to request a new password, potentially leading to a complete account takeover.

Recommendations Update Minerva version 3.6.0 to a patched version. Restrict access to the '/minerva/user/updateUserProfile' endpoint to ensure users can only modify their own profile data.
