Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor in org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server

Impact

The modifications rest endpoint does not filter out entries according to the user’s rights. Therefore, information hidden from unauthorized users are exposed though the modifications rest endpoint (e.g., comments, page names…).

Patches

Users should upgrade to XWiki 14.6+, 14.4.3+, or13.10.8+. Older versions have not been patched.

Workarounds

No known workaround.
