[SOLVED] Access control - user has access without approval

13 years 2 months ago - 13 years 2 months ago #154439 by Gooru
Hi...

Seems a user was able to access member areas without being approved. Any ideas how to rectify?

Joomla 1.5.22
CB 1.3.1

Could you please provide more details. Are you saying the user is not approved and is capable of logging in? Please check that the user is Blocked, if not then they can login as Joomla API only checks for Blocked or not. Approval and Confirmation is internal to CB and would require CB Login module to check; please ensure you're not using Joomla login module or page. Please also upgrade to recently released CB 1.4.

krileon...

Thanks for jumping in.

CB Login is confirmed.

The user had trouble verifying their email address This is a comment form that user:
"It won't let me confirm my address. Says I haven't done it and that I'm not accepted, and yet I can go anywhere I want... hmm."

I have many CB installs operating on many sites, and have never had this happen. I was under the impression that the CB login and reg process would prevent anyone from accessing any part of the site without being approved, and confirmed?

Don't believe the users statement is valid. They can navigate any PUBLIC part of your site, but if they are not confirmed they will not be capable of logging it; it's not possible. Please check within user management if the user is confirmed, approved, and enabled.

Exactly why I am scratching my head on this. She mentioned access to documents that are not public, and she would not have been able to see that otherwise.

I'm pretty diligent about my setup and very experience at it. I will do some more test about this but am very concerned as this is occurring on a school site with obvious sensitive and private info.

Cheers

Please perform further investigation as would be interested in your results. Please keep in mind access outside of CB we can not control. For instance if Joomla login and registration was not disabled a user can gain access to your site potentially by either/or of them as CB can not control them. Other logins such as through VirtueMart would also be another way for users to gain access. It's important to shut down any other login/registration means aside from CBs.
