High 8.8
In plain English
A high-severity security flaw in the codeigniter4/framework package (Packagist). There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 1.9% (higher than 80% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
CodeIgniter through 4.0.0 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a modified Email ID to the "Select Role of the User" page. NOTE: A contributor to the CodeIgniter framework argues that the issue should not be attributed to CodeIgniter. Furthermore, the blog post reference shows an unknown website built with the CodeIgniter framework but that CodeIgniter is not responsible for introducing this issue because the framework has never provided a login screen, nor any kind of login or user management facilities beyond a Session library. Also, another reporter indicates the issue is with a custom module/plugin to CodeIgniter, not CodeIgniter itself.
