The application performs sensitive operations without requiring authentication, which can be exploited by an attacker to gain unauthorized access and perform actions that they should not have permission to execute.
Impact:
An attacker could manipulate critical system functions or data leading to a complete compromise of the system's integrity and confidentiality.
Mitigation:
Ensure all sensitive operations are protected with appropriate authentication mechanisms. Implement role-based access control (RBAC) to restrict access based on user roles and permissions.
