Machine-written summary

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

Wagtail (PyPI package wagtail) versions 7.0.9 to before 7.1, 7.1rc1 to before 7.3.4, 7.4rc1 to before 7.4.3, and 8.0rc1 before 8.0rc2 are affected. A CMS user who has the "submit translations" permission can use the Admin API's "copy for translation" endpoint to copy an existing page they do not have edit access to, which lets them view that page's contents. Upgrade to Wagtail 7.0.9, 7.3.4, 7.4.3, or 8.0rc2, depending on the release line in use.
