How does a random user get a document in your notion instance?
- cobertos 1y agoPeople put all kinds of stuff in Notion. People use it as a DB. People catalog things they find online (web clipper). There's collaboration features. There are many ways
- PokestarFan 1y agoIf I had to describe it, Notion is if somehow managed to combine OneNote and Excel. Of interest is the fact that the "database" system stores each row as a page with the column values other than title stored in a special way. Of course, this also means that it doesn't scale at all, but I have seen some crazy use cases (an example is replacing Jira).
- freakynit 1y agoNotion is like the "dump-truck" of everything lol.
- Lalabadie 1y agoThe article gives a PDF document as an example, but depending on how links are opened and stored for Notion agents, threat actors could serve a different web page depending on the crawler/browser agent. That means any industry-known documentation that seems good for bookmarking can be a good target.
- memothon 1y agoLots of companies have automations with Zapier etc. to upload things like invoices or other documents directly to notion. Or someone gets emailed a document with an exploit and they upload it.
- simonw 1y agoIn this case by emailing you a PDF with a convincing title that you might want to share with your coworkers - the malicious instructions are hidden as white text on a white background. There are plenty of other possibilities though, especially once you start booking up MCPs that can see public issue trackers or incoming emails.
- freakynit 1y agoGoogle "best free notion marketing templates" and then import them. I have done them multiple times, and so does 1000's of others woldwide.
