Searching for new posts shows hidden forums

Postby SekoETC » Fri Mar 02, 2007 11:58 am

At least it did a moment ago. I noticed a posting that was on Marketing department forum, which is rather strange since I seem to remember I'm not authorized to read that forum. I clicked on it anyway and it said post doesn't exist. Then I clicked on the forum name and it said the forum doesn't exist. So was that some sort of a temporary clitch or is there a security problem?

Languages Department members can access the Marketing Department forum. As you are now a member of the Languages Department, this explains why you can see those new posts.

Oh? But when I clicked on the link it said the forum doesn't exist, how do you explain that? Yeah and I can't see Marketing in the list of forums although I seem to remember seeing it earlier.

Shouldn't you have PM'ed or emailed this security flaw, Seko?
If that was in fact a way into hidden forums, about a hundred people would have known at this time.
