Description Vincent Danen 2012-06-06 16:53:25 UTC
Florian Weimer reported multiple instances of unprotected access (web pages, export functionality, image viewing) in cumin.  An unauthenticated user could view pages that should have been restricted to authenticated users only, resulting in information disclosure.

Comment 1 Trevor McKay 2012-06-07 16:48:50 UTC
Fixed in revision 5398 on trunk.

Essentially, a fragment from the existing authentication check on the index.html page has been added to all widgets.  The check can be enabled or disabled, and is disabled by default.  For widgets in the page hierarchy, the check is enabled except where necessary for actual login -- the login page itself, and the css and resource pages which allow it to draw.  

Here is the diff from the commit email for reference:
