CVE-2013-7061 plone: privilege escalation through exposed underlying API
Last modified: 2015-07-31 03:13:47 EDT
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.
