CVE-2026-84798

HighCVSS 7.1
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 and < 5.10.11 fail to perform an independent authorization check in ElementsController::actionDeleteForSite(). The method checks permissions only against the user's own provisional draft, then deletes the canonical element without re-checking, allowing an authenticated user without deleteEntriesForSite permission to hard-delete entries.

Risk Assessment

Permanent deletion of entries and content that cannot be recovered from the recycle bin, leading to data loss.

Recommendation

Update Craft CMS to version 5.10.11 or later.

Original NVD description (English source)

Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 and < 5.10.11 fail to perform an independent authorization check in ElementsController::actionDeleteForSite(). The method loads an element with checkForProvisionalDraft enabled and runs the deletion authorization check against the user's own provisional draft (which only verifies draft ownership), then propagates the deletion to the canonical element without re-checking permissions. As a result, an authenticated user who has viewEntries, viewPeerEntries, saveEntries, savePeerEntries, and editSite permissions but lacks the deleteEntriesForSite permission can hard-delete a canonical entry's site record (and, for single-site entries, the full element and content), which is irrecoverable via Craft's recycle bin.
