[Koha-devel] (big) security hole...

[Paul POULAIN]

Hello world,

Kyle has found (without searching) a big security hole in fine management.

Koha checks that a user can access a page when calling 
get_template_and_user sub.

That's why this sub should always be at the beginning of every page.

right, BUT : on pay.pl, we record the payement before checking the 
template & user permission.

wow... big bug for libraries that uses fines, as anyone that can access 
librarian interface can "pay" fines in koha without problem...

This bug should affect every version I'm afraid (2.2, dev_week, tumer, 
rel_3_0)

I'll fix 2.2 & rel_3_0 asap (toins 1st job on monday probably ;-) ).
It probably means just moving the get_template_and_user at the beginning 
of the script.
