Description
OpenCATS before 0.10.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows READ-level users to create, rename, delete, and populate saved lists via AJAX endpoints. Authenticated attackers can send requests to newList.php, editListName.php, deleteList.php, or addToLists.php with any savedListID to alter or delete any saved list site-wide.
