Technical details
An authorization bypass exists in the `GetNotesByBookID` function within `backend/services/notes.go`. When the `deleted=true` query parameter is provided to the `/api/books/{bookID}/notes` endpoint, the application uses GORM's `Unscoped()` method to include soft-deleted records. However, the authorization logic incorrectly continues to honor the `is_public = true` flag for these 'trashed' items. An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate the metadata (ID, title, slug, and timestamps) of deleted notes belonging to any public book. The note body itself is not exposed as the content retrieval endpoint does not use unscoped queries. A fix is available in version 0.0.0-20260601210758-9c9b72740f22.
