*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Private security bug reported: This is similar to but different from #1968443. The issue is on a list with private rosters an attempt to log in to the options page with an email address which is not a list member just returns the options login page with no error, but attempt to login with an email address which is a list member returns the page with a 401 status and an `Authentication failed.` error message. This could be used to fish for membership on a list with private rosters. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2015416 Title: Membership information leak through options page.

[Bug 2025981] [NEW] Mailman 2.1.15 doesn't allow admin changes on private lists
by Charles Buckley July 6, 2023

July 6, 2023

Public bug reported: I run three Mailman lists on my web server, one browsable and two non- browsable. I wanted to eliminate the footer that gets added to the bottom of messages distributed by one of the private (non-browsable) lists. When I tried to do this, I would browse to the admin non-digest page, delete the contents of the Footer field, and hit "Submit my changes". This would send me to a login for admin privileges of the list in question. I would log back in, only to find myself on the page I had just modified, but the modification I made did not take place. I experimented with this a bit, and found that I could eliminate the footer on my public (browsable) list on the same server. So I tried converting my other private (non-browsable) list to be browsable, at which point I could eliminate the footer, and then switch the list back to being non-browsable. But once I tried to implement the workaround on the non-browsable list I wanted to change, I got the same defective behavior when trying to switch the list to be browsable -- I would get redirected to the admin login page for the list in question, log in successfully, only to come back and find myself on the same privacy page, with no changes having been made. I saw a report of this behavior on the mailman-users mailing list from the year 2000. It is still going on now in 2023. One would think that some information on how to workaround this bug would have been found between now and back then. Note that, when I am able to successfully change a setting, I am never sent back to the list admin login page. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2025981 Title: Mailman 2.1.15 doesn't allow admin changes on private lists To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/2025981/+subscriptions
