2014-10-28 01:28:11 Aaron Wells description If a group creates a page that only the group can access - but then add a secret url to the page, a person not in the group can access the page via it's normal url. Eg 1) group A admin creates a page and shares it only with the group, the page has the id=8 2) group A admin create a secret url for the page, eg /view/view.php?t=nFlSjpVuUCawH6TxP7A3 3) User 1, who is not in any groups goes to /view/view.php?id=8 Expected result - they can't access the page as they don't know the secret url Actual result - they can access the page This is reported here: https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=6520 If a user (or group) creates a private page and gives it a secret URL, and then the page is accessed by the secret URL on a public computer and the user doesn't close their browser window afterwards, other users will also be able to access that page by its normal url or its secret URL. This can defy user expectations of access rights. Eg 1. group A admin creates a page and shares it only with the group, the page has the id=8 2. group A admin create a secret url for the page, eg /view/view.php?t=nFlSjpVuUCawH6TxP7A3 3. User 1, who is not in the group, goes to the page by its secret URL. (While using a computer at the library.) 4. User 1 then logs out. 5. User 2 comes along and goes to /view/view.php?id=8 Expected result - User 2 can't access the page as they don't know the secret url Actual result - User 2 can access the page This is reported here: https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=6520
