Overview

ssddanbrown/bookstack is a BookStack documentation platform

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass since parentChapter permissions are not enforced during sort. Users with only book-update permissions on their own page can move their pages into restricted chapters via modifying the parentChapter ID in the sortmap. Users do not need to have access to restricted books or chapters in order to perform this attack.
