      Issue Summary

      • In previous versions (for instance 7.13.7) we were able to create a copy of the page directly using the copy page URL - <confluence-url>/pages/copypage.action?idOfPageToCopy=<pageId>&spaceKey=<spaceKey> but this functionality is not working in the recent Confluence instances
      • The issue was introduced as part of the security fixes - CONFSERVER-81222 and CONFSERVER-81217

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a new page and add some content.
      2. On the same page insert a link (copy page URL) - <confluence-url>/pages/copypage.action?idOfPageToCopy=<pageId>&spaceKey=<spaceKey>
      3. Save the page
      4. Hit the link and it throws an error - HTTP response code 405 (Method not allowed)

      Expected Results

      • A copy of the page should get created when we hit the link - <confluence-url>/pages/copypage.action?idOfPageToCopy=<pageId>&spaceKey=<spaceKey>{}

      Actual Results

      • We get HTTP error 405 for the GET request (copypage.action) when we try to click on the link

      Workaround

      • Currently, there is no known workaround for this behaviour. A workaround will be added here when available

            It displays this:

            Your request could not be processed because a required security token was not present in the request. You may need to re-submit the form or reload the page.

            and throws 403 (Forbidden) error in the console.
