Upgrade Wagtail to version 7.0.9, 7.3.4, 7.4.3, or 8.0rc2 or later, where this issue is fixed. No additional mitigation is required once patched.
Description
Wagtail versions prior to 7.0.9, 7.3.4, 7.4.3, and 8.0rc2 have an issue where ETag conditional request processing occurs before document permission and filename checks. This allows an unauthenticated attacker who knows a document ID and a candidate SHA1 hash to determine if that hash exists in the document library by submitting If-Match or If-None-Match headers. The vulnerability does not expose document contents, filenames, or other metadata beyond confirming the presence of known hashes. The issue is fixed in versions 7.0.9, 7.3.4, 7.4.3, and 8.0rc2.
