How to fix?

Upgrade craftcms/cms to version 5.9.15 or higher.

Overview

craftcms/cms is a content management system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the actionSavePermissions process. An attacker can remove all group memberships from arbitrary users by submitting an empty groups parameter, resulting in immediate revocation of all permissions inherited from those groups. This is only exploitable if the attacker has a control panel account with accessCp and viewUsers permissions and the application is running the Pro edition or higher.
