Summary0000109: Security issue with {{usergroups}} action
Description 19-04-2005 23:23 adrianw

Thank you for the usergroups action
However there is a possible exposure.
To avoid repeated editing of the Config file I usually add several users to a group at the same time. I can do this before the users register. Then as soon as they register, they have the appropriate group permissions.
However, now anyone can use the {{usergroups}} action and check for any names who have not yet registered. Then this person could register with the name he found in the {{usergroups}} listing and gain access to resources he is not supposed to see.
I suggest the following changes to the {{usergroups}} action:
1. for admins - output as at present
2. for registered users - list the group names but only list the members of the groups that I already belong to
3. for unregistered users - no output.
TagsNo tags attached.

well I'm stumped. The sort takes place on the server so we should be seeing the same results. I'll look into it more closely over the next few days although in the meantime it would help if you cleared your browser cache and tried viewing the page again.
