Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Cyrus IMAP (cyrus-imapd). An authenticated user, without administrative privileges, could bypass Access Control List (ACL) checks by using the LOCALDELETE command. This allowed them to delete mailboxes for which they did not have the necessary permissions, leading to unauthorized data integrity compromise.
