Security Improvements

  • A recent vulnerability scan found two potential vulnerabilities related to the Shortcuts interface in the Control Panel Settings: the Add Shortcut and Insert Link interfaces were accessible over https without being logged in to the Control Panel. While no exploits were revealed it could have caused a future vulnerability.  This potential vulnerability has been mitigated by restricting access to those interfaces to Website Administrators who are logged in to the Website Control Panel.
