DescriptionCVE.org

XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the force-agreement controller that allows any ACP administrator to access and submit force-agreement forms regardless of their assigned permissions. Attackers can bypass the option permission declared in the navigation configuration to update the global policy last-updated timestamp, forcing all users to re-agree to the privacy policy or terms of service.

AnalysisAI

Missing authorization in XenForo before 2.3.13 permits any ACP administrator to access and submit the force-agreement controller irrespective of their assigned permission set, bypassing the option permission declared in the navigation configuration. An ACP admin with insufficient privileges can update the global policy last-updated timestamp, triggering a site-wide re-consent prompt that forces every registered user to re-accept the privacy policy or terms of service. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated ACP administrator account - any account with ACP access qualifies, even one whose role explicitly lacks the option permission for the force-agreement feature. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is constrained by the requirement for an existing, authenticated ACP administrator account (CVSS PR:H), which limits the attacker pool significantly - exploitation is not possible by unauthenticated users or standard forum members. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade XenForo to version 2.3.13 or later, which includes the server-side authorization fix for the force-agreement controller. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
