Overview

cryptpad is a Zero Knowledge realtime collaborative editor.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control. Users with edit access rights for rich text pads could change the URL of a document to load the same document in a code pad. As such, it is possible to invalidate the existing stored content, making it impossible to load the same document in the rich text editor. This vulnerability could lead to data loss via a trivial URL modification.
