AI-suggested

Upgrade Wagtail to version 7.0.7, 7.3.2, or 7.4 or later, where this permission handling issue has been fixed. No additional mitigation is required once patched.

Description

Wagtail CMS versions prior to 7.0.7, between 7.1 and before 7.3.2, and before 7.4 allow users without edit permissions to access the page history report. This improper handling of insufficient permissions could lead to disclosure of sensitive information. The issue is fixed in versions 7.0.7, 7.3.2, and 7.4.
