URL hacking allows edit mode in weather portlet ----------------------------------------------- Key: JBPORTAL-1841 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1841 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Portal Core Affects Versions: 2.6.3 Final Reporter: Prabhat Jha Assigned To: Thomas Heute Priority: Critical If you are not logged in then weather portlet does not show edit icon which is good. But if I hack the URL to http://localhost:8080/portal/auth/portal/default/Weather/WeatherPortletWi..., I am able to get into edit mode and change the zip code. Is this how it supposed to be? Sohil suggests: "no it shouldn't do that. Either the Edit Mode logic of the Portlet should protect against this (a bit painful design), or Portal's security layer should have the granularity to provide role-based protection of the "Edit Mode" of Portlets as a cross cutting aspect. I like the second option better personally" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
