Title
Initiative Allows Unauthenticated Access to Uploaded Documents via Public /uploads/ Endpoint
Summary
Initiative is a self-hosted project management platform.

Any uploaded file can be accessed directly via its URL by unauthenticated users (e.g., in an incognito browser session), leading to potential disclosure of sensitive documents. The problem was patched in v0.32.2, and the patch was further improved on in 032.4.
