CVE-2022-41799Network attack vector

Authenticated private-page disclosure via access-control bypass

Published Oct 24, 2022 · Updated May 7, 2025

Improper access control in WESEEK GROWI v5 before 5.1.4 and v4 before 4.5.25 allows remote authenticated users to read private pages. WESEEK and JPCERT/CC have not published the affected endpoint or the access-control operation that improperly authorizes markdown downloads. A valid GROWI login is required, and the bounded consequence is disclosure of markdown from pages another user marked private.
