Description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to overwrite or delete a document without delete rights.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in the document save operation when saving a page by replacing view with edit in the URL for a page the user can edit but not view. A remote user can save crafted page content to overwrite the existing page and move the previous version to the recycle bin to overwrite or delete a document without delete rights.
The issue occurs only when a user has edit right but not view right on the target page.
