Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Control Bypass in the demographics questionnaire admin editor interface due to missing authorization checks on the /admin/demographics/questions route. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to administrative question-management features by directly accessing the protected interface as a low-privilege user.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling the "decidim-demographics" module.
