How it was found
Hi, I've found an issue where verified users can complete and submit a profile on behalf of another user. I've attached two video POCs (unlisted on YouTube).
Completion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erH7ShUpqso Editing - https://youtu.be/IQboAIHNpq4
Steps to reproduce:
- Register a new user account
- Verify the account via the email from Veris
- Do not complete the profile but note the url. Create a new account.
- Complete the account creation for the second user.
- Logged in as the second user, navigate to the profile creation url from the first user.
- Submit the values.
- User 1 receives an email that their profile has been created.
Additionally, even after a profile has been set up, you can still edit it as a second user, at least if the steps above are followed. Assuming you did the steps above:
- Navigate back to the /portal/complete-profile/XXXXX/
- Change the values and resubmit the form
- User 1 receives an email that their profile has been updated
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
