Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Erudika Scoold up to 1.68.x. Affected by this vulnerability is the function ApiController.getPostReplies of the file src/main/java/com/erudika/scoold/api/ApiController.java of the component Answers Endpoint. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a access control vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-284. The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Scoold is a Q&A and a knowledge sharing platform for teams. Prior to 1.69.0, users with personal API tokens can retrieve replies from questions in private spaces they cannot access because src/main/java/com/erudika/scoold/api/ApiController.java in ApiController.getPostReplies() does not apply canAccessSpace before returning data from GET /api/posts/{id}/answers. The issue is reachable when scoold.api_user_access_enabled and scoold.api_enabled are true and a token holder knows or enumerates a private question identifier. Under those conditions, the question endpoint can deny access while the answers endpoint returns the private reply bodies, exposing confidential team or project discussions. This issue is fixed in version 1.69.0.
