CVE-2026-54244: CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization in statamic cms
Statamic is a Laravel and Git powered content management system (CMS). Prior to 5.74.0 and 6.20.3, the Live Preview endpoint for existing entries and terms in src/Http/Controllers/CP/PreviewController.php only checked view authorization, but it accepts and renders caller-supplied field values. A Control Panel user with view but not edit permission could therefore submit content they were not authorized to author and generate a shareable Live Preview URL rendering it. This issue is fixed in versions 5.74.0 and 6.20.3.

Technical Summary
CVE-2026-54244 describes an incorrect authorization vulnerability (CWE-863) in Statamic CMS's Live Preview endpoint located in src/Http/Controllers/CP/PreviewController.php. Before versions 5.74.0 and 6.20.3, the endpoint checked only view permissions but accepted caller-supplied field values for rendering. This allowed Control Panel users with view but not edit permissions to submit unauthorized content and generate shareable Live Preview URLs displaying that content. The vulnerability is resolved in the specified fixed versions.
Potential Impact
An attacker with view-only permissions can submit and render unauthorized content via the Live Preview feature, potentially sharing preview URLs with content they are not authorized to edit. The CVSS score of 3.5 (low severity) reflects limited impact, as confidentiality and availability are not affected, and user interaction is required.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Statamic CMS to version 5.74.0 or later, or 6.20.3 or later, where this authorization issue is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated or necessary as the fix is available.
