The vulnerability allows a remote user to modify data in a private board they are not a member of.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in the DDP update allow rules for cards, lists, and swimlanes when processing update requests that change the boardId field. A remote user can send a specially crafted DDP update request to modify data in a private board they are not a member of.
The issue affects the auto-generated Meteor collection methods for cards, lists, and swimlanes over the websocket interface, and the destination board membership is not validated during these updates.
