Bug.

Patch.

Can’t use patches? That’s a shame. Incomprehensible as it can be, there are a lot of things Unix got right, and diff and patch are two huge ones. If I need to tell you how to change two lines in a file to fix something, I can either save a copy before I start editing, make the edits, then say diff -Naur Trackback.pm.orig Trackback.pm > NoDrafts.Trackback.pm.patch and be done with it, and you can then copy the patch to your lib/MT/App directory and type patch -p0 < NoDrafts.Trackback.pm.patch and we’re all done, or…

You can save a copy of {yourMTdir}/lib/MT/App/Trackback.pm for safety’s sake, then open it in a text editor, find the spot around line 13 where it says:

use MT::App;
@MT::App::Trackback::ISA = qw( MT::App );

and in between those two lines insert

use MT::Entry qw( HOLD RELEASE REVIEW );

so you have

use MT::App;
use MT::Entry qw( HOLD RELEASE REVIEW );
@MT::App::Trackback::ISA = qw( MT::App );

Then down around line 37 find

    my $entry = MT::Entry->load($entry_id)
        or return $app->error($app->translate(
            "Invalid entry ID '[_1]'", $entry_id));
    my $ctx = MT::Template::Context->new;

and insert

    $entry->status == RELEASE
    	or return $app->error("What are you doing in my underwear drawer?");

so you have

    my $entry = MT::Entry->load($entry_id)
        or return $app->error($app->translate(
            "Invalid entry ID '[_1]'", $entry_id));
    $entry->status == RELEASE
    	or return $app->error("What are you doing in my underwear drawer?");
    my $ctx = MT::Template::Context->new;

save it and re-upload it, and people won’t be able to see your draft entry titles by just guessing entry numbers in the Trackback “view” URL.
