Description

Symptom

A malicious user can perform shared report operations to which access should be restricted. This may result in an escalation of privileges.

Solution

Code changes are made to enforce the validity of operations on a Shared Report.

Reason and prerequisites

Shared reports in DuetEnterprise 1.0 do not properly validate user inputs before performing shared report subscribe operations. This may result in undesired system behavior.
