Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
MajorDoMo (aka Major Domestic Module) allows unauthenticated arbitrary module uninstallation through the market module. The market module's admin() method reads gr('mode') from $_REQUEST and assigns it to $this->mode at the start of execution, making all mode-gated code paths reachable without authentication via the /objects/?module=market endpoint. The uninstall mode handler calls uninstallPlugin(), which deletes module records from the database, executes the module's uninstall() method via eval(), recursively deletes the module's directory and template files using removeTree(), and removes associated cycle scripts. An attacker can iterate through module names and wipe the entire MajorDoMo installation with a series of unauthenticated GET requests.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-862

The application checks who you are but not whether you're allowed to perform a given action, so any authenticated user can reach things meant for others. This is the classic “change the ID in the URL” bug. The fix is an authorization check on every request, evaluated against the acting user's permissions.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence
  1. 1. Navigate to the MajorDoMo installation directory on the server
  2. 2. Backup the entire MajorDoMo installation and database before applying any changes
  3. 3. Locate the market module file (typically in /modules/market/ or similar path)
  4. 4. Apply the fix from vendor pull request #1177: https://github.com/sergejey/majordomo/pull/1177
  5. 5. The fix should add authorization checks before allowing uninstall mode operations in the admin() method
  6. 6. Verify the market module still functions correctly after applying the patch
  7. 7. Test that unauthenticated requests to /objects/?module=market with mode=uninstall are now blocked
