Overview

ckan is a world’s leading Open Source data portal platform.

It powers dozens of Open Data portals around the world, including data.gov, open.canada.ca and europeandataportal.eu but also regional, research and community organizations.

It makes easy to publish, share and find data online and is fully customizable via extensions and plugins.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control when an existing user id is sent via an HTTP POST request. This allows a user to take over an existing account including superuser accounts.
