Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Wagtail versions before 7.0.9, 7.1 through before 7.3.4, 7.4 through before 7.4.3, and 8.0rc1 through before 8.0rc2 are affected. The Documents and Images API v2 listed items in descendants of private collections, which should have inherited view restrictions from their ancestors, so a user with API access could see the filenames and names of those documents and images. Upgrade to 7.0.9, 7.3.4, 7.4.3, or 8.0rc2. As a workaround, add authentication to the Documents and Images APIs.
