Article disclosure via discarded password parameter
Published Feb 8, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Business logic error in Publify before 9.2.7 allows remote attackers to read articles whose administrators intended to password-protect. The admin content controller omits the submitted password from its accepted article fields, so create and update requests silently store no password. An authorized publisher must first attempt to protect the article; readers can then view content that was intended to require the password.
