Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability in flaskBlog (version 2.8.0 and earlier) allows any user to delete comments made by other users without validation. When a user attempts to delete a comment, the application does not verify if the user owns that comment. By intercepting the delete request and changing the commentID, a user can delete arbitrary comments from other users on any post.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized deletion of comments by any user, potentially causing loss of data, disruption of discussions, and abuse of the application’s functionality. It undermines user trust and can negatively affect the integrity of the content on the blog.
