DescriptionCVE.org

Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to authorization bypass in the Calendar Block since action_get_events does not check canView on the calendar which results in restricted event details being disclosed. The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v.4.0 score of 6.3 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks lalalala5678 for reporting.

AnalysisAI

Unauthorized disclosure of restricted calendar event details in Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below stems from a missing authorization check in the Calendar Block's action_get_events handler, which never invokes canView on the target calendar before returning event data. Unauthenticated remote attackers who can reach the endpoint can retrieve event information that site administrators have explicitly restricted, provided a Calendar Block with access-controlled events is deployed. No public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is absent from the CISA KEV catalog; however, the network-accessible, zero-authentication nature of the endpoint lowers the bar for casual enumeration of restricted scheduling data.

Technical ContextAI

Concrete CMS is a PHP-based content management system. The affected component is the Calendar Block controller's action_get_events method, an AJAX-callable action that populates calendar views with event data. CWE-425 (Direct Request / Forced Browsing) identifies the root cause: the action endpoint is directly reachable over HTTP without the CMS authorization layer being consulted - specifically, the canView permission check on the calendar object is never called before event data is serialized and returned. This is a controller-level authorization omission, not a cryptographic or injection flaw. The CVSS 4.0 vector component AT:P (Attack Requirements: Present) signals that a specific deployment prerequisite must be met before exploitation is meaningful, namely that at least one calendar within a Calendar Block must have event-level visibility restrictions configured.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Concrete CMS 9.5.1, the release documented at https://documentation.concretecms.org/9-x/developers/introduction/version-history/951-release-notes, which is the implied fix version based on the vendor's reference. The patched release version has not been independently verified against a source code diff - confirm the canView authorization check is present in action_get_events before relying solely on the version number. If an immediate upgrade is not possible and Calendar Blocks with restricted event visibility are in active use, disable or remove Calendar Blocks from pages accessible to unauthenticated visitors as a compensating control; note this will break calendar functionality for those pages. Alternatively, configure all calendar events as publicly visible to eliminate the sensitivity of any disclosed data, accepting that access controls on event details will be non-functional until patching is complete. Web server-level blocking of requests matching the Calendar Block action_get_events parameter pattern is a third option but risks false positives that break legitimate authenticated use.
