How to fix?

Upgrade roundup to version 1.4.6, 1.2.1 or higher.

Overview

roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with command-line, web and e-mail interfaces.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control due to the EditCSVAction function in cgi/actions.py. An attacker can modify arbitrary items within a class by exploiting insufficient permission checks, allowing actions such as editing all queries, modifying settings, and adding roles to users when they have edit or create privileges for a class.
