Description Ratul Gupta 2013-12-11 10:25:23 UTC

Plone, an open source content management system, was found to be affected by a vulnerability, where exposed search API could allow privileged section administrators to search for content outside the area they administer. 

A subclass of CatalogTool from CMF wraps a subset of the search methods to add permission checks. The unwrapped methods, while not part of the official API, could be used from restricted python to access information without authorisation.
