Summary

A vulnerability in Kirby CMS allowed users with the `pages.create` permission to create pages directly in published state via the REST API, bypassing the required `pages.changeStatus` permission. The issue affected versions prior to 4.9.0 and 5.4.0 and was fixed by changing how option queries are resolved in blueprints.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated attacker with page creation permission could bypass the editorial workflow and immediately publish content, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure or modification of information on the site.

Recommendation

Update Kirby CMS to version 4.9.0 or 5.4.0 (or later) to eliminate the vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

Kirby is an open-source content management system. Prior to versions 4.9.0 and 5.4.0, Kirby's user permissions control which user role is allowed to perform specific actions to content models in the CMS. These permissions are defined for each role in the user blueprint (`site/blueprints/users/...`). It is also possible to customize the permissions for each target model in the model blueprints (such as in `site/blueprints/pages/...`) using the `options` feature. The permissions and options together control the authorization of user actions. For pages, Kirby provides the `pages.create` and `pages.changeStatus` permissions (among others). In affected releases, Kirby checked these permissions independently and only for the respective action. However the `changeStatus` permission didn't take effect on page creation. New pages are created as drafts by default and need to be published by changing the page status of an existing page draft. This is ensured when the page is created via the Kirby Panel. However the REST API allows to override the `isDraft` flag when creating a new page. This allowed authenticated attackers with the `pages.create` permission to immediately create published pages, bypassing the normal editorial workflow. The problem has been patched in Kirby 4.9.0 and Kirby 5.4.0. Kirby has updated the `Options` logic to no longer double-resolve queries in option values coming from `OptionsQuery` or `OptionsApi` sources. Kirby now only resolves queries that are directly configured in the blueprints.
