AI-suggested
Upgrade Outline to version 1.12.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigations are indicated or required as the fix addresses the improper access control issue.
Description
Outline before 1.12.0 contains an improper access control vulnerability that allows unauthenticated users to read unpublished documents because the share loader ignores unpublished status. Attackers holding an existing share link can query shares.info, documents.info, or the /s/ share routes to read withdrawn content, while shares.revoke returns 404 and blocks revocation.
