Technical details

A missing authorization vulnerability in the revisionary component allows insufficiently privileged users (contributors) to bypass access controls. The vulnerability requires that a user is already authenticated with contributor privileges and exploitable through the affected plugin versions. An attacker with contributor access gains the ability to view or modify restricted revisions and content.
