Description
CVE-2026-18275 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in Scripta eScriptorium up to version 26.04.1. It allows a remote authenticated user to overwrite other users' document parts by exploiting improper queryset restrictions in the serializers handling process and annotation taxonomy. This issue arises because the queryset restriction was applied to the ManyRelatedField instead of its child_relation, rendering the restriction ineffective.
