An issue in the /api/audits component of Pwndoc v0.5.3 allows attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code via uploading a crafted audit file.

PwnDoc through 0.5.3 might allow remote attackers to identify disabled user account names by leveraging response messages for authentication attempts.

PwnDoc through 0.5.3 might allow remote attackers to identify valid user account names by leveraging response timings for authentication attempts.

PwnDoc all versions until 0.4.0 (2021-08-23) has incorrect JSON Webtoken handling, leading to incorrect access control. With a valid JSON Webtoken that is used for authentication and authorization, a user can keep his admin privileges even if he is downgraded to the "user" privilege. Even after a user's account is deleted, the user can still access the administration panel (and add or delete users) and has complete access to the system.
