AI-suggested
Organizations using Craft CMS should upgrade affected installations to version 4.17.8 or 5.9.14 or later, where the vulnerability has been patched with proper authorization checks. Until upgrades can be applied, administrators should restrict access to the assets/image-editor endpoint to only trusted users and monitor authenticated user activity for unusual access patterns to private assets. Implementing strict role-based access controls (RBAC) and minimizing the number of users with authenticated access can reduce exposure. Additionally, reviewing and tightening permissions on private assets and auditing asset metadata exposure can help identify and mitigate risks. Web application firewalls (WAFs) may be configured to detect and block suspicious requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint. Finally, organizations should maintain regular patch management processes and monitor vendor advisories for related vulnerabilities.
Description
Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). From version 4.0.0-RC1 to before version 4.17.8 and from version 5.0.0-RC1 to before version 5.9.14, a low-privileged authenticated user can call assets/image-editor with the ID of a private asset they cannot view and still receive editor response data, including focalPoint. The endpoint returns private editing metadata without per-asset authorization validation. This issue has been patched in versions 4.17.8 and 5.9.14.
