Antes de 7.3.2, UserEditor.php procesa la creación de cuentas de usuario y las actualizaciones de permisos completamente a través de parámetros $_POST sin validación de token CSRF. Un atacante no autenticado puede elaborar una página HTML maliciosa que, al ser visitada por un administrador autenticado, eleva silenciosamente a cualquier usuario de bajo privilegio a administrador completo o crea una nueva cuenta de puerta trasera de administrador sin el conocimiento de la víctima. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en 7.3.2."
