CVE-2024-13240Network attack vector

Authenticated public-content creation via visibility bypass

Published Jan 9, 2025 · Updated Jan 10, 2025

Improper access control in Drupal Open Social before 12.0.5 allows remote authenticated users to create prohibited public content. The vendor has not published the affected code locus; it states only that content creation fails to enforce the site's global public-visibility restriction. A valid account and a site with public visibility disabled globally are required; the result is content exposed to unauthenticated visitors.
