Summary

In OpenLearn, when safeMode is enabled, unapproved forum posts are hidden from the public list, but the direct post-read procedure still returns the full post to anyone with the post UUID. The issue is fixed in commit 844b2a40a69d0c4911580fe501923f0b391313ab.

Risk Assessment

Anyone with the UUID of an unapproved post can retrieve its content despite safeMode being enabled, bypassing moderation and potentially exposing unverified or sensitive content.

Recommendation

Update OpenLearn to a version that includes commit 844b2a40a69d0c4911580fe501923f0b391313ab or later.
