While assignment of a user to a team (bracket) in CTFd should be possible only once, at the registration, a flaw in logic implementation allows an authenticated user to reset it's bracket and then pick a new one, joining another team while a competition is already ongoing. This issue impacts releases from 3.7.0 up to 3.7.4 and was addressed by pull request 2636 https://github.com/CTFd/CTFd/pull/2636 included in 3.7.5 release.
The product requires that an actor should only be able to perform an action once, or to have only one unique action, but the product does not enforce or improperly enforces this restriction.
