Enable ACLs for Encoded Query in Simple List Widget
Learn how to set the glide.service_portal.enable_acls_for_encoded_query_in_list property to the secure value to prevent users from bypassing access control list (ACL) evaluations on a query condition in the Simple List Widget.
When the glide.service_portal.enable_acls_for_encoded_query_in_list system property is not set to true, a user may be able to bypass ACLs evaluation on a query condition in Simple List Widget.
Ensure that the glide property glide.service_portal.enable_acls_for_encoded_query_in_list is set to true. If the property does not exist in the System Properties [sys_properties] table, the default value is true.
