Initiative is a self-hosted project management platform. An access control vulnerability exists in Initiative versions prior to 0.32.2 where uploaded documents are served from a publicly accessible /uploads/ directory without any authentication or authorization checks.

The problem was patched in v0.32.2, and the patch was further improved on in 032.4.
