Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Contao's contao/core-bundle is affected in versions from 4.0.0 before 5.3.50 and from 5.4.0-RC1 before 5.7.12. If the contao.search.index_protected setting is turned off after protected pages were indexed, the site search can return titles, URLs and text snippets of those member-only pages to anonymous visitors, because the stored search rows are not removed. An unauthenticated visitor can see this through ordinary site search, though the pages themselves still require authentication. Upgrade to 5.3.50 or 5.7.12, which are the fixed versions.
