Description

Concrete CMS versions 9 through 9.5.2 have an authorization bypass vulnerability in the Boards area of the Dashboard. The system did not verify that a user had the required edit_board_settings permission on a board's parent before allowing actions on board instances. This allowed users with board-edit rights on one board to perform actions on instances of other boards by supplying their instance IDs. The vulnerability is due to the reuse of a CSRF token that is bound to the action name rather than the target object, bypassing proper permission checks.

Technical Analysis

Concrete CMS 9 through 9.5.2 failed to perform proper authorization checks on several board-instance actions within the Dashboard's Boards area. The instance details controller resolved board instances directly from attacker-supplied instance IDs and allowed viewing, refreshing, regenerating, or deleting these instances without verifying that the requester had edit_board_settings permission on the parent board. The affected actions bypassed the permission-checked accessor and relied solely on an action-scoped CSRF token, which is reusable across boards and not bound to the specific target object. This flaw enables a user with board-edit rights on one board to access and manipulate instances of other boards on the site.

Potential Impact

Users with board-edit permissions on a single board can access and perform actions on instances of other boards without proper authorization. This could lead to unauthorized viewing, refreshing, regenerating, or deletion of board instances. The CVSS v4.0 score assigned by the Concrete CMS security team is 2.1, indicating a low severity impact. There is no indication of remote code execution or privilege escalation beyond the board instance scope.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict board-edit permissions carefully to trusted users only. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches once released.
