AI-suggested
Update Kirby CMS to version 4.9.0, 5.4.0, or any later release to apply the official fix. These versions include consistent permission checks enforcing the `pages.access`, `pages.list`, `files.access`, and `files.list` permissions. No additional mitigation is required once patched.
Description
Kirby CMS versions prior to 4.9.0 and versions from 5.0.0 up to but not including 5.4.0 have inconsistent enforcement of the `pages.access/list` and `files.access/list` permissions in the Panel and REST API. Authenticated users with roles that lack these permissions may still see or access pages and files they should not. This vulnerability does not affect write actions and only impacts sites where access restrictions are configured. The issue has been fixed in Kirby 4.9.0 and 5.4.0.
