TSPortal: Any user can forge self-deletion requests for any account
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
Conversion of empty strings to null allows disguising DPA reports as genuine self-deletion reports.
Potential impact
Potential unauthorized deletion of any arbitrary user's data both in the current system (TSPortal) and subsequent systems if actioned.
Technical context
Creating a DPA report about another user and leaving the evidence field empty causes that report to look like the reported user self-requested deletion of their data. Ingenuine report is not distinguishable from a genuine one. This can be prevented by disabling convertEmptyStringsToNull in the middleware, or by validating evidence in Http/Controllers/DPAController::store() to not be empty.

Matching a version is only one part of assessing exposure. QFinch has not assessed your environment on this public page.
Remediation
Apply the vendor-supported fixed release or mitigation, then verify the affected component is no longer reachable.
- Confirm the affected product and reachable code path exist in your environment.
- Apply the vendor-supported patch or mitigation from the primary advisory.
- Rescan the exact deployed revision and retain verification evidence.
