Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The wagtail package versions 6.0.0 up to 6.0.5 and 6.1.0 up to 6.1.2 are affected by a permission check flaw in the wagtail.contrib.settings module. A user with Wagtail admin access who knows the edit URL for a settings model can view and update that setting without having been granted permission for it. Upgrade to wagtail 6.0.5 or 6.1.2; the source lists no workaround.
