Technical details

An improper authorization vulnerability (CWE-285) exists in the `get_quotes.php` module of NamelessMC version 2.2.4. While the standard topic view enforces Access Control Lists (ACLs), the `get_quotes` endpoint only verifies that a user is logged in before fetching post content via an attacker-supplied `post` ID. Because the backend helper in `Forum.php` fails to validate forum or topic-level permissions, a low-privileged user can enumerate post IDs to leak content and author metadata from restricted, hidden, or staff-only forums. This issue is resolved in version 2.2.5.
