Summary

Admidio before 5.0.16 contains an information disclosure flaw in its weblinks RSS feed, rss/links.php. The feed omits the role-visibility filter, so it does not check whether a user may see restricted categories. An unauthenticated remote attacker can request the feed for an organization and read link names, URLs, descriptions, categories and creator names from role-restricted weblinks. The flaw is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization).
