If you cannot patch yet, restrict control panel user permissions carefully to minimize exposure.

Description

### Summary A user with Control Panel access but without permission to view a target private asset can call `assets/preview-thumb` and receive preview HTML that contains a signed fallback transform link for that private asset. ### Details Root-cause analysis: 1. The endpoint accepts an attacker-controlled `assetId`. 2. Asset is resolved, and thumbnail HTML is returned. 3. No explicit asset-view permission check is performed before preview generation. ### Impact Type: 1. Missing authorization 2. Unauthorized preview-link disclosure Affected deployments: 1. Craft sites with control panel users who have partial permissions and private assets. Security consequence: 1. A control panel user without asset-view permission can still obtain signed preview transform link data for private assets. 2. This may increase private asset exposure risk depending on deployment and endpoint chaining. ## Resources https://github.com/craftcms/cms/commit/d30df3112220db1ffd6726a3ed11857014c7fb27
