NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mailman:2.1/mailman package and not the mailman:2.1/mailman package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

GNU Mailman before 2.1.35 may allow remote Privilege Escalation. A csrf_token value is not specific to a single user account. An attacker can obtain a value within the context of an unprivileged user account, and then use that value in a CSRF attack against an admin (e.g., for account takeover).
