Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization in the render_object_structure process. An attacker can access editorial placeholder and plugin structure metadata of non-authorized objects by sending crafted requests to the structure endpoint as a low-privileged staff user. This is only exploitable if the deployment exposes a non-PageContent model with frontend-editable placeholders and the attacker can enumerate or guess valid content_type_id and object IDs.
