"According to its self-reported version, the instance of Dotnetnuke running on the remote web server is prior to 10.3.3.
It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.
- An authorization vulnerability in the Social Groups module could allow a group owner to modify another
group's information. Sites using Social Groups should upgrade to a patched release to ensure ownership
validation is consistently enforced during group management operations. A vulnerability was identified in
the Social Groups module where ownership validation was not consistently enforced during group management
operations. Under certain conditions, a user with permission to manage one social group could perform
modifications to another group they do not own. Successful exploitation could allow unauthorized changes
to editable group information, compromising the integrity of affected social groups. In addition, an
attacker could use these unauthorized modifications for social engineering by publishing misleading or
fraudulent content that appears to originate from the legitimate group owners or administrators.
