Cross-user post deletion via empty Authorization header
Published Nov 7, 2025 · Updated Nov 12, 2025
Incorrect authorization in rymcu forest through commit f782e85 allows remote authenticated users to delete other users' posts. AuthorshipAspect.doBefore permits an empty Authorization header without raising a validation exception, so X-Upload-Token bypasses the ownership check. A registered account and another post's identifier are sufficient to delete that post through the network-facing delete endpoint.
