Put simply

Think of it like someone having access to a master key that not only opens the front door but also allows them to erase your entire guest list. It’s an unwelcome party crasher who can simply uninvite anyone they choose without your consent! This arbitrary user deletion vulnerability in 14Finger's API allows attackers to specify user IDs for deletion without proper authorization checks, making it as easy as sending a seemingly benign request to the `/api/admin/user?id` endpoint.

What to do

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to delete any user account at will, potentially causing chaos within organizations. Imagine suddenly losing access to critical accounts or vital data—it's an admin's worst nightmare! Patch to version 1.1.1 immediately and implement proper authentication checks on the user deletion endpoint.
