Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Protection Mechanism Failure in the collect process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to restricted template functionality by leveraging insufficient sandbox restrictions when authenticated with backend access and template editing permissions. This is only exploitable if CMS_SAFE_MODE is enabled and the attacker has CMS template editing permissions.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling CMS_SAFE_MODE if untrusted template editing is not required, or by restricting CMS template editing permissions to fully trusted administrators only.
