Description
WorkFlow-Engine through 9.6.11 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated users to complete or reassign other users' workflow tasks via /vue/buttonOperation endpoints. Low-privileged attackers can supply a known taskId to the complete, completeTask or reAssign handlers to approve tasks or reassign them without authority.
