Authenticated reply disclosure via missing authorization
Published Sep 17, 2026 · Updated Sep 18, 2026
Missing authorization in Erudika Scoold before 1.69.0 allows remote authenticated users to read replies from inaccessible private spaces. ApiController.getPostReplies() returns child replies after reading the parent post but never applies canAccessSpace to the post's space. Exploitation requires both API options enabled, a valid personal token, and a known or enumerable private question identifier; it exposes reply bodies but not the question itself.
