AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately upgrade Statamic CMS installations to version 6.4.0 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed. Until patching is possible, restrict control panel access to trusted users only and enforce strong authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the risk of account compromise. Conduct thorough audits of user permissions to ensure the principle of least privilege is applied, minimizing the impact if an account is compromised. Monitor control panel access logs for unusual or unauthorized activities that could indicate exploitation attempts. Additionally, implement network-level protections such as IP whitelisting or VPN access for the CMS control panel to limit exposure. Regularly review and update CMS software and dependencies to address future vulnerabilities promptly.

Description

Statmatic is a Laravel and Git powered content management system (CMS). Starting in version 6.0.0 and prior to version 6.4.0, Authenticated Control Panel users may under certain conditions obtain elevated privileges without completing the intended verification step. This can allow access to sensitive operations and, depending on the user’s existing permissions, may lead to privilege escalation. This has been fixed in 6.4.0.
