Technical details

The page REST API's getOne and all=1 endpoints use .permission(false) to disable authorization checks, bypassing viewRole thresholds and visibility filtering (private, loginRequired). The publicApiCheckAsync function only verifies that publicApiProjection exists without enforcing authorization. An unauthenticated attacker can directly request any page by ID/slug, and the all=1 parameter returns the full site tree with sensitive metadata.
