Read-only users can post replies (permission overflow)</p><p>`newpost` only checks read permissions; there are no write permissions:</p><p>forum.post.php;</p><pre><code class="language-plaintext">cot_block(Cot::$usr['auth_read']);
if ($a == 'newpost' &amp;&amp; !empty($s) &amp;&amp; !empty($q)) {</code></pre><p>The `auth_write` permission exists on the `newtopic` endpoint but not on the `newpost` endpoint.</p><p>Result: A user with only read (R) permission can bypass the interface and send a new reply directly via a POST request. This is not an edit or delete vulnerability, but a write permission overflow.</p>]]></description>
