# PolicyPress: CSS-only redaction and insecure defaults expose sensitive policy content

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-68541 (this .md is for agents)

PolicyPress, a compliance policy management tool, hides sensitive content with CSS-only redaction and ships insecure starter workflow defaults. Anyone who can load the page or its underlying data can read content that was meant to be redacted.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed PolicyPress version; the sources say versions before `1.4.1` are affected
- Review whether redacted content is sent to the browser in the page source or API responses (unknown how to confirm from sources)

## Fix

- Move to PolicyPress `1.4.1` or later
