Synopsis

Mastodon < 4.2.5 Authentication Bypass

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of Mastodon running on the remote host is prior to 3.5.17 or 4.0.x prior to 4.0.13 or 4.1.x prior to 4.1.13 or 4.2.x prior to 4.2.5. Therefore, it may be affected by a remote user impersonation and takeover.
