Remaining docs updated to match code (the docs that the first pass had not covered):
- Flows: Chat, Referral, Rating, Registration, Google OAuth, Negotiation, Payout,
Trezor Safekeeping — corrected endpoints, socket events, status enums, auth gaps
- API Reference: User API, Trezor API — admin route prefix/verb/status corrections,
added undocumented endpoints (ton-proof challenge, profile email verify,
GET /trezor/account, POST /trezor/verify-operation)
- Data Models: Chat, Notification, Payment, PointTransaction, User — corrected
enums (PaymentProvider, escrowState, PointTransaction.type, User.status),
90-day notification TTL, soft-delete semantics, wallet fields
Trezor "zero frontend" finding (audit C31/C32) corrected as STALE:
- Verified current code HAS a full frontend Trezor implementation (admin/trezor
page, TrezorSettingsView, trezorConnector via @trezor/connect-web,
TrezorSignDialog, actions/trezor.ts building the {message,signature} object)
- Fixed Trezor Safekeeping Flow doc (removed false "no frontend" warnings)
- Reclassified ISSUE-012 as invalid/superseded with explanation
Issue set reconciled to a single canonical numbering (ISSUE-001..054):
- Adopted the comprehensive 51-issue set (long-slug, fully indexed)
- Removed 35 superseded short-slug duplicates from the first pass
- Removed a duplicate ISSUE-046 file
- Added 3 issues the 51-set lacked: ISSUE-052 (completed-not-counted-in-stats),
ISSUE-053 (axios 401-only interceptor), ISSUE-054 (rate limiter counts all attempts)
- Regenerated Issues Index: 53 open (14 critical, 39 major) + 1 invalid

# 🟠 Admin can delete other admin accounts via new controller — legacy admin-on-admin protection does not apply
|
|
|
|
**Severity:** major
|
|
**Domain:** User Management
|
|
**Labels:** security, bug, backend, major, privilege-escalation
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
The new controller (DELETE /api/user/admin/:userId) only blocks self-deletion. It does not prevent an admin from deleting other admin accounts. The legacy route (DELETE /api/users/admin/:userId) blocks admin-on-admin deletion. The two routes have divergent authorization logic.
|
|
|
|
## Current Behavior
|
|
|
|
An admin can delete other admin accounts via the new controller endpoint without a 403 error.
|
|
|
|
## Expected Behavior
|
|
|
|
DELETE /api/user/admin/:userId should check if target user has role=admin and return 403 (matching legacy route behavior).
