AI-suggested
Since the vulnerability involves missing validation of an authentication code, remediation would require implementing proper validation checks in the click tracking middleware to ensure the authentication code is verified before disclosing any personal data. If you cannot patch yet, restricting access to the middleware or removing sensitive data from email links may reduce risk.
Description
A vulnerability in the click tracking middleware allows unauthenticated attackers to access personal data of newsletter recipients. This occurs because the middleware does not validate the recipient's authentication code if it is omitted from the request. The personal data is embedded in links sent via email, enabling unauthorized data retrieval.
