Impact
This vulnerability affects users of tag groups who use the "Tags are visible only to the following groups" feature. A tag group may only allow a certain group (e.g. staff) to view certain tags. Users who were tracking or watching the tags via /preferences/tags, then have their staff status revoked will still see notifications related to the tag, but will not see the tag on each topic.
Patches
The problem has been patched. Please upgrade to v2.8.0.beta9 or 2.7.11
Workarounds
None.
