Outline is a service that allows for collaborative documentation. From 0.84.0 to 1.6.1, a logic error in OAuthInterface.validateScope() uses Array.some() to validate requested OAuth scopes, causing the function to accept the entire scope array if any single scope is valid. An attacker can smuggle the wildcard * scope by requesting scope=read *, escalating a read-only OAuth token to full unrestricted API access including write, delete, and admin operations. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.7.0.

No affected version ranges are stored yet. Use the vendor advisory before you decide this record does not apply.
