Clicking on super admin profile opens admin page

  • June 14, 2022 10:04 AM EDT

    When seeing the profile of the super admin or an hyperlink with the name of the super admin, clicking on it opens the /admin page if you are an admin or super admin of the site. For normal users, it returna a page not found.

    This was tested on Widows 11 using Chrome and Edge

    The site is running SE 6.1.1

    You named your user super admin? We don't allow spaces in names so that shouldn't have worked. Can you please provide a screenshot of the user name so I can see? Are you using any third party plugins for users or anything?

    I've tested on my staging and put the First Name as Super and the Last Name as Admin. I then clicked the profile and went to the profile. 

    I then tried putting the username/profile address as superadmin and that also goes to the profile. Neither of these go to the admin panel. Can you please provide more details?

    Hi Donna,

    I found the issue. I did set the username to admin and I wasn't facing the issue before. You did ask if I was using third party plugins for users which is not the case, but I realized that a recently added plugin  from Socialnetworking.solutions was providing short member profile URL with their core.

    I tested by renaming the user name and it now works as expected. 

    Thanks, it helps getting a different view of the issue.

    Thank you Benoit for the details. I'll remove this from the bug tracker and put it in third party discussions.

    I hope you let them know of this issue as it might be a security concern.
