Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
LavaLite CMS version 10.1.0 has an Incorrect Access Control vulnerability. This means that an authenticated user with low-level privileges, such as a regular User role, can bypass restrictions and directly access the admin backend by logging in through the /admin/login page.
The root cause of this vulnerability is that the admin and user authentication guards use the same user provider but do not verify role-based access control properly.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability allows low-privileged users to gain unauthorized access to the administrative backend of the LavaLite CMS. As a result, such users could potentially perform administrative actions, modify content, change configurations, or access sensitive information that should be restricted to administrators.
