Something strange. Users reports that in latest version of Oxwall they are able to delete other members comments without any permission, if only they have clicked on "like" button below the post.


This seems to be critical privacy bug. Is there any hotfixes?


Screenshot shows the appearance of "delete comment" button for other than author user.

Wow, that is huge!


I've reproduced this. it seems that since they liked the activity, it now thinks they are the owner, but that is not true. I think the way in which the newsfeed works to display current activity is at fault which others have expressed concerns about. 


Oxwall, please address ASAP with a workaround published here.


Thanks!

No workaround for this one yet.
If the fix will be an easy one, I will post it here once the fix is done by our developers.
