8.8 HIGH

Network-reachable endpoint, trivial to exploit once authenticated; PR:L because administrateUsers permission is required; full triad impact on the CMS application, no scope change.

DescriptionCVE.org

Craft CMS versions before 5.10.11 fail to validate admin status in the actionGetPasswordResetUrl endpoint, allowing non-admin users with administrateUsers permission to mint password reset URLs for administrator accounts. Attackers can generate a valid reset URL for any admin user and set a new password via actionSetPassword, which validates only the verification code without checking the caller's session, enabling complete control-panel takeover.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in Craft CMS before 5.10.11 allows authenticated non-admin users holding the administrateUsers permission to perform a full control-panel takeover by minting valid password reset URLs for administrator accounts. The actionGetPasswordResetUrl endpoint omits a check that the caller holds admin status, and the downstream actionSetPassword endpoint validates only the cryptographic verification code without inspecting the caller's session - meaning any valid reset token is redeemable regardless of who requested it. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated Craft CMS session where the user account has been explicitly granted the administrateUsers permission - this is not granted to ordinary users or editors by default and must be assigned by an existing administrator. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N, score 8.7) accurately characterizes the attack: network-reachable, mechanically simple, no user interaction, but requiring PR:L - a valid authenticated session with the administrateUsers permission. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to Craft CMS 5.10.11 or later; this release adds the missing admin-status check in actionGetPasswordResetUrl per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/craftcms/cms/security/advisories/GHSA-6qw4-cjqw-fj72. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Craft CMS instances and their versions, then audit which users hold the administrateUsers permission and review their recent activity logs for anomalies. …
