PK76463: ENABLING PATH TRAVERSAL CHECKING DOES NOT GET APPLIED TO THE SEARCH SEED LIST.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Enabling path traversal checking does not get applied to the
    search seed list. This means that content items that a user has
    access to will appear in the search seed list even though they
    may not access to the items along the path to that content item
    (e.g. the user does not have access to the site area)
    
    Setting wcm.path.traversal.security=true in the
    WCMConfigService.properties file will not be applied to the seed
    list creation.
