Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
An improper access control vulnerability exists in janeczku/calibre-web. The affected version allows users without public shelf permissions to create public shelves. The vulnerability is due to the `create_shelf` method in `shelf.py` not verifying if the user has the necessary permissions to create a public shelf. This issue can lead to unauthorized actions being performed by users.
