I would like to bring this issue, which I believe is a vulnerability that grants people access to the administration area, to the attention of the staff members.

Basically what happens is that when I login I sometimes get access (the links appear at the top of the page) to admin areas where I can edit sensitive information, as you can see from the screenshot (attachment).

Screenshot is too small.
Maybe they're going to make you the new admin

what sensitive information? and wtf with sometimes? those are always there when your user account has sufficient rights to access certain features of midgard. don't know if the policies are too loose though.

When you select "website" on that menu at the top is "Midgard Administration UI" enabled or is it grayed out?

Not my fault, the website resizes the image when I upload it.

Stuff like page metadata and stuff related to administration.

No. They don't always appear. Which is why I'm saying it's a bug or something.

Well my account has no rights at all, I'm not part of the staff.

So.. apart from regular users who can't do anything about it, nobody cares? Interesting.

gimme an extra thousand 'thanks' and watch the uproar that ensues over that! maybe pm'ing a mod directly might be more effective for getting their attention though?

Hey, I'm not their security advisor. The mods should be checking out every thread anyway. If they don't care, I'm not going to bother PM'ing them.

Then can you please do one of:
  1. Attach it to a new bug report, including details of what you did to get there; the username you've logged on with and a series of screenshots showing each expanded menu entry.
  2. Crop it and re-attach.

(1) would be the most productive, FWIW.

Reggie has no control over the Midgard portion of maemo.org.
