CWE-639  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade concrete5/concrete5 to version 9.5.1 or higher.

Overview

concrete5/concrete5 is a concrete5 open source CMS.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in the AddMessage and UpdateMessage process via the attachments[] parameter. An attacker can bypass file permission restrictions by referencing file IDs directly, allowing unauthorized access to files managed by the system. This is only exploitable if files are not stored in a private storage location outside of the webroot, where permissions can be enforced on access.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by configuring a private storage location for sensitive files outside of the webroot, ensuring permissions are checked on file access.
