Overview

calibreweb is a Web app for browsing, reading and downloading eBooks stored in a Calibre database.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control due to improper HTML rendering, when the user doesn't have view permissions to read the name of a private shelf, the server continues to render the HTML containing shelf.name instead of showing error messages and redirect. Exploiting this vulnerability leads to disclosing the name of the private shelf.
