Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wagtail versions prior to 2.15.2

Description The issue arises when notifications for new replies in comment threads are sent to all users who have replied or commented anywhere on the site, rather than only in the relevant threads. This allows a user to listen in to new comment replies on pages they have not had editing access to, as long as they have left a comment or reply somewhere on the site.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.15.2, update to Wagtail 2.15.2 to restore the intended behavior of sending notifications for new replies to the participants in the active thread only. As a temporary workaround, consider setting WAGTAILADMIN COMMENTS ENABLED = False in the Django settings file to disable new comments.
