Geodi: Improper Enforcement of Behavioral Workflow

CVE-2023-5921 is a high-severity improper enforcement of behavioral workflow vulnerability in Geodi from DECE Software, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user.
