FS#278 - Account Deletion Without Proper Authorization – AlwaysData Admin Panel

Vulnerability Summary:- A critical security flaw has been identified in the AlwaysData Admin Panel that allows any logged-in user to permanently delete their account without any form of re-authentication, identity verification, or confirmation mechanisms.

This behavior violates standard security best practices and creates a serious risk of: Accidental account loss Malicious account destruction Irreversible data loss Abuse by attackers if session hijacking occurs

Steps to Reproduce:- Step 1 – Create an Account Visit the AlwaysData admin panel and create a new account: https://admin.alwaysdata.com/

Step 2 – Log In Log into your account using the created credentials.

Step 3 – Access Profile Page Navigate to the profile section: https://admin.alwaysdata.com/user/

Step 4 – Locate Delete Option On the top area of the profile page, you will see an option labeled: “Delete this profile”

Step 5 – Click Delete Click on Delete this profile, then proceed to the next step.

Step 6 – Account Gets Deleted Boom! Your account is immediately deleted without: Password re-entry Email verification OTP confirmation Security warnings Multi-step confirmation

Security Impact Permanent Data Loss –> Account and all associated data are erased instantly Session Hijacking Abuse –> Any attacker with temporary session access can wipe accounts No Recovery –> Deleted accounts cannot be restored Compliance Violation –> Fails to meet basic security & privacy standards

Why This Is Dangerous This allows single-click irreversible account deletion, which is extremely dangerous in modern web applications. Industry standards require: Password confirmation Multi-factor authentication Email verification links Grace periods before deletion None of these protections are present.

Recommended Fix AlwaysData should immediately implement: Mandatory password re-authentication Email/OTP verification Two-step deletion confirmation 24–72 hour grace period before permanent deletion
