Overview
wagtail is an open source content management system built on Django.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the preview endpoints in the admin interface. An attacker can obtain unauthorized preview renderings of pages, snippets, or site settings by crafting form submissions with arbitrary data. This may expose database contents that are otherwise restricted to users with edit access.
Note: This is only exploitable if the attacker has access to the admin interface.
