MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged account with access to the Camaleon CMS admin interface (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector). The attacker must know or successfully enumerate a valid post_id belonging to another user's draft, which is feasible given that CMS post IDs are typically sequential integers. The UI:P indicator in the provided CVSS 4.0 vector implies some passive user interaction may be involved (e.g., the victim must have saved a draft that the attacker can target), though the precise interaction is not described in the advisory. Exploitation does NOT grant elevated privileges, code execution, access to credentials, or any availability impact. Exploitation is bounded to the integrity of draft content within the application and is not possible by unauthenticated users or users without admin-area access. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 (Medium) accurately reflects a constrained impact: AV:N and AC:L indicate the endpoint is network-reachable without complexity, but PR:L confirms a valid account is required, meaningfully limiting the attacker pool to existing authenticated users. The impact is confined to low integrity degradation on the vulnerable system (VI:L) with no confidentiality or availability effects. No EPSS data was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified numerically; however, the absence from CISA KEV and the lack of any identified POC together suggest no current widespread exploitation. The real-world business risk is concentrated in multi-author editorial deployments where silent draft corruption could disrupt publishing workflows or introduce unauthorized content changes prior to publication. This is not a high-urgency patching priority for most organizations, but it warrants attention in any deployment with untrusted low-privileged users. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated contributor enumerates post_id integer values by observing their own draft save requests and then increments or decrements the value to target another user's unpublished post. A crafted POST request to /admin/post_type/<POST_TYPE_ID>/drafts with the victim's post_id overwrites their draft with attacker-controlled content without any notification to the victim. The attack requires no special tooling beyond a standard HTTP client and a valid low-privileged session token. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 12, 2026
Improper authorization in Camaleon CMS 2.9.2 allows any low-privileged authenticated user to overwrite draft content belonging to other users by supplying an arbitrary post_id to the administrator draft autosave endpoint. The application authenticates the requesting user but performs no ownership check, meaning a contributor or editor can silently corrupt unpublished drafts they do not own. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and active exploitation has not been confirmed by CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version has been independently confirmed at time of analysis; the fix status and any tagged release should be verified directly against the upstream repository at https://github.com/owen2345/camaleon-cms and the Fluid Attacks advisory at https://fluidattacks.com/es/advisories/billie. As a compensating control, restrict access to the /admin/post_type/*/drafts endpoint to only the most trusted user roles via application-level role checks or a reverse-proxy ACL, reducing the attacker pool from all authenticated users to administrators. Additionally, implement object-level authorization validation in the autosave action to confirm that the supplied post_id is owned by or explicitly shared with the requesting user before processing the write - this is the root cause fix regardless of patch availability. The trade-off of role restriction is reduced functionality for legitimate lower-privileged authors who rely on autosave.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Camaleon CMS is a Ruby on Rails-based content management system. The flaw resides in the draft autosave endpoint at POST /admin/post_type/<POST_TYPE_ID>/drafts, which accepts a client-supplied post_id parameter without verifying that the authenticated user owns or is authorized to modify the referenced post. This is a textbook CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) instance: the application correctly authenticates the user but omits the object-level authorization check needed to confirm resource ownership before performing the write operation. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:camaleon_cms:camaleon_cms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version range, indicating the NVD has not bounded the vulnerable range beyond 2.9.2.

DescriptionCVE.org
Camaleon CMS 2.9.2 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in the administrator draft autosave endpoint. A low-privileged authenticated user can send an arbitrary post_id to POST /admin/post_type/<POST_TYPE_ID>/drafts and overwrite the draft associated with another user's post.
