DescriptionCVE.org

BookWyrm through 0.9.1 fails to validate user visibility permissions in the status edit endpoint, allowing authenticated attackers to read followers-only and direct-message reviews by enumerating sequential status IDs. Attackers can access the raw content of restricted statuses through the edit view, bypassing the privacy protections documented for these message types.

AnalysisAI

Insecure Direct Object Reference in BookWyrm's status edit endpoint (EditStatus) through version 0.9.1 exposes followers-only and direct-message reviews to any authenticated user. Because status IDs are sequential and the edit view does not validate the requesting user's visibility permissions against the target status, an authenticated attacker can enumerate integer IDs to retrieve the raw content of private statuses they should not be able to read. …
