Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to delete another non-admin user.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in the POST /users/bulksave endpoint when handling a bulk user edit request with delete_user=1. A remote user can send a specially crafted POST request to delete another non-admin user.
The issue occurs because the destructive sink authorizes update rather than delete, while the UI and confirmation path require delete permission.
