Authorization bypass via user-controlled object key

Published Feb 20, 2026 · Updated Feb 20, 2026

Authorization bypass in Mikado Themes PawFriends 1.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access controls. The public record does not identify the affected request or object; it states only that a user-controlled key bypasses an incorrectly configured access-control level. Patchstack lists Subscriber access as required, while its current CNA assessment treats exploitation as unauthenticated and reports only an availability consequence.
