Affected: inveniosoftware invenio-drafts-resources

Invenio-Drafts-Resources is a submission/deposit module for Invenio, a software framework for research data management. Invenio-Drafts-Resources prior to versions 0.13.7 and 0.14.6 does not properly check permissions when a record is published. The vulnerability is exploitable in a default installation of InvenioRDM. An authenticated a user is able via REST API calls to publish draft records of other users if they know the record identifier and the draft validates (e.g. all require fields filled out). An attacker is not able to modify the data in the record, and thus e.g. *cannot* change a record from restricted to public. The problem is patched in Invenio-Drafts-Resources v0.13.7 and 0.14.6, which is part of InvenioRDM v6.0.1 and InvenioRDM v7.0 respectively.

Affected: PyPI: invenio-drafts-resources, PyPI: invenio-app-rdm, PyPI: invenio-rdm-records

### Impact

Invenio-Drafts-Resources does not properly check permissions when a record is published. The vulnerability is exploitable in a default installation of InvenioRDM. An authenticated user is able via REST API calls to publish draft records of other users if they know the record identifier and the draft validates (e.g. all require fields filled out). An attacker is not able to modify the data in the record, and thus e.g. *cannot* change a record from restricted to public.

### Details

The service's ``publish()`` method contains the following permission check:

```python def publish(..): self.require_permission(identity, "publish") ``` However, the record should have been passed into the permission check so that the need generators have access to e.g. the record owner.

```python def publish(..): self.require_permission(identity, "publish", record=record) ``` The bug is activated in Invenio-RDM-Records which has a need generator called ``RecordOwners()``, which when no record is passed in defaults to allow any authenticated user:

```python class RecordOwners(Generator): def needs(self, record=None, **kwargs): if record is None: return [authenticated_user] # ... ```

### Patches

The problem is patched in Invenio-Drafts-Resources v0.13.7 and 0.14.6+, which is part of InvenioRDM v6.0.1 and InvenioRDM v7.0 respectively.
