Summary
Umbraco is an ASP.NET CMS. From 14.0.0 to before 16.5.1 and 17.2.2, A broken object-level authorization vulnerability exists in a backoffice API endpoint that allows authenticated users to assign domain-related data to content nodes without proper authorization checks.

This vulnerability is fixed in 16.5.1 and 17.2.2.
