Overview
wagtail is an open source content management system built on Django.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Insufficient Permissions or Privileges in the chosen endpoint for Documents and Images, which incorrectly lists items for which the user has not been granted choose permission. An attacker can access filenames, names, and URLs of documents and images in restricted collections by leveraging access to the Wagtail admin interface. This is only exploitable if the attacker has access to the Wagtail admin.
