AI-suggested
- Immediately upgrade Craft CMS installations to version 4.17.6 or later, or 5.9.12 or later, where the vulnerability is patched.
- Review and restrict access to any shared URLs that enable impersonation tokens, ensuring they are only distributed to trusted users.
- Implement monitoring and alerting for unusual impersonation activities or privilege escalations within the CMS logs.
- Conduct a thorough audit of user accounts and permissions to detect any unauthorized changes or suspicious admin accounts.
- If upgrading immediately is not feasible, consider disabling or restricting the UsersController->actionImpersonateWithToken functionality temporarily.
- Educate administrators and users about the risks of sharing impersonation URLs and enforce strict access controls.
- Employ web application firewalls (WAF) to detect and block suspicious requests targeting impersonation endpoints.
Description
Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). From version 4.0.0-RC1 to before version 4.17.6 and from version 5.0.0-RC1 to before version 5.9.12, a low-privilege user (or an unauthenticated user who has been sent a shared URL) can escalate their privileges to admin by abusing UsersController->actionImpersonateWithToken. This issue has been patched in versions 4.17.6 and 5.9.12.
