Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-863.
Summary
Craft CMS from 5.0.0 before 5.11.0 contains an incorrect authorization flaw (CWE-863) because requireAllowedSite() is not enforced on GraphQL mutations. An attacker holding a token scoped to one site can use a supplied siteId to create entries in another site and delete entries, categories, tags, and assets shared across sites. The CVSS 4.0 vector shows that an unauthenticated remote attacker needs no user interaction, with high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability.
