Hidden pages' content can be viewed without permission using diffpages.action

XMLWordPrintable

      If the id of a page is known by a user, that user can view the content of the page without having permissions to the space it is in. They need only construct the right URL.
      EG:
      Two spaces A and B
      Page with id 1 is in Space A
      Page with id 2 is in Space B
      User cannot see Space A
      User can see Space B

      The following URL will allow the user to view a diff of the two pages, thus easily deriving the content of the page in the hidden space.
