Confirmed

I think this indicates a bigger issue in regard to leaking this data even when the permission is not present for the actor, no?

rob006 commented 2 years ago

Probably yes.

I also feel that there might be performance issues since API seems to return a list of all votes for this widget, even if only the first ~15 records are relevant for this widget. So if we have 10k votes, forum will query, serialize and send a lot of data that is not really used. AFAIK likes extension had/have this problem and there were performance problems about this on forum. While this PR does not fix the leaking problem, it mitigates performance issues since votes info is not queried if this widget is not visible.

Voters are also leaking on user profile - you can see posts user voted on even if you don't have permissions to see voters.
