Description

An improper authorization vulnerability in the /admin/elements endpoint allows unauthenticated users to access element content belonging to restricted or draft pages by supplying a valid page_version_id. The endpoint performs no authentication, authorization, or page-state checks, allowing attackers to retrieve non-public CMS content without a session. Because page_version_id values may be enumerable, the vulnerability could potentially be used to mass-enumerate and harvest restricted page content across an affected instance.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
