Suggestion notification user data leak

Last posted 3 years ago. Added 3 years ago

Something I just noticed as I received the email notice of an entry suggestion, along with users nickname I get sent his email address. Not sure if a regular user like me is supposed to see that.

Also I can't view the suggestions on-site as the address https://knowyourmeme.com/admin/suggestions/###### (# being entry's ID I presume) is restricted to staff only.

Notifications about entry suggestions are based on your account's editorships – which you currently have. If you recieve a suggestion for an entry you do not have editorship for, please let us know, otherwise this is working as intended.

And yeah, being unable to view the same suggestions on-site is due to how KYM separates staff vs user permissions.

Email notifications don't bother me at all, I'm just worried that including entire e-mail address of the submitter to me might be breaching some kind of privacy law
