Weblate: Improper access control for pending tasks in API
### Impact The API for tasks didn't verify user access for pending tasks. This could expose logs of in-progress operations to users who don't have access to given scope. ### Patches * https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/pull/18515 ### Workarounds The attacker needs to guess the random UUID of the task, so exploiting this is unlikely with the default API rate limits. ### References This issue was identified by Michal Čihař.
