      "value": "Scoold is a Q&A and a knowledge sharing platform for teams. Prior to version 1.67.0, Scoold allows the admins configuration value to be modified through /api/config/set/admins with a forged Bearer token that is accepted as an admin API token. Once that setting is changed, the target email address is written to the application configuration file. The change does not become active immediately in the current process, because the ADMINS set is loaded once at startup. After a Scoold restart, though, the selected user is recognized as an administrator and gains access to the admin panel. This issue gives an attacker a reliable persistence path: write their own email into scoold.admins, wait for a restart or trigger one operationally, and the account comes back as admin. This issue has been patched in version 1.67.0."

      "value": "Scoold es una plataforma de P&R y de intercambio de conocimientos para equipos. Antes de la versión 1.67.0, Scoold permite que el valor de configuración de los administradores sea modificado a través de /api/config/set/admins con un token Bearer falsificado que es aceptado como un token API de administrador. Una vez que esa configuración es cambiada, la dirección de correo electrónico objetivo se escribe en el archivo de configuración de la aplicación. El cambio no se activa inmediatamente en el proceso actual, porque el conjunto de ADMINS se carga una vez al inicio. Sin embargo, después de un reinicio de Scoold, el usuario seleccionado es reconocido como administrador y obtiene acceso al panel de administración. Este problema le da a un atacante una ruta de persistencia fiable: escribir su propio correo electrónico en scoold.admins, esperar un reinicio o activarlo operacionalmente, y la cuenta vuelve como administrador. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 1.67.0."
