# paicoding: missing authorization lets anyone read paid and draft articles

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-129143 (this .md is for agents)

paicoding 1.0.3 has a missing authorization check on its article detail endpoint, GET /article/api/data/detail/{articleId}. An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate article IDs and read full content of paid, login-only, member-only and draft articles.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- maven:paicoding affected 1.0.3 fixed no fixed version listed

## How to check

Check the deployed paicoding version (pom.xml or release tag) for 1.0.3. Then request GET /article/api/data/detail/{articleId} without a session cookie for a paid or draft article ID; full content in the response means exposed. The advisory names ArticleRestController.java L87-L94.

## Fix

No fixed version published as of 2026-11-13; upstream issue #137 is open. Until a fix lands, restrict the endpoint at a reverse proxy or require login in front of /article/api/data/detail/.
