Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass in the knowledge base comment and translation management functionality. Low-privileged authenticated users can modify or delete content they should not have access to due to missing authorization checks in knowbaseitem_comment.form.php and knowbaseitemtranslation.form.php. The fix adds proper permission validation before allowing these operations.
