Primary administrator deletion via unchecked record identifiers
Published Jan 19, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Authorization bypass in Live Helper Chat before 3.92 allows remote authenticated users to delete the primary administrator account. The lhuser delete.php and deletegroup.php handlers trusted user_id and group_id values and deleted record 1 without a server-side guard. High-privilege access is required; exploitation can remove the primary administrator account or administrator group.
