Recall-result manipulation via impersonated votes
Published Jan 6, 2023 · Updated May 28, 2025
Improper authorization in FAForever Forged Alliance Forever 3746 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to cast recall votes for other players. The recall-vote handler fails to bind a submitted vote to its originating player, permitting one participant to vote under another player's identity. A logged-in game participant can therefore influence recall results, affecting match integrity and availability.
