Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from the admin interface allowing email modification without verification. In Django-based applications like Kiwi TCMS:
- UserAdmin classes control editable fields in admin pages
- The presence of email field in admin forms/fieldsets enables direct editing
- Lack of verification hooks in save_model or form validation would permit unverified changes
- The patch explicitly mentions disabling email field editing in admin, implying these were the entry points While exact code isn't available, Django's admin patterns strongly suggest these components as vectors given the vulnerability context.
