DescriptionCVE.org

Pimcore is an Open Source Data & Experience Management Platform. Prior to 2025.4.6 and 2026.1.6, the Studio API class definition creation endpoint POST /pimcore-studio/api/class/definition/configuration-view/detail/create is guarded by the objects permission instead of the classes permission, allowing a standard editor-level user to create class definitions without admin privileges. Class definition creation generates new database tables and PHP class files on the server, and missing API-layer UID format validation allows malformed UIDs to reach model-layer validation and return internal exceptions. This issue is fixed in versions 2025.4.6 and 2026.1.6.

AnalysisAI

Broken authorization in Pimcore's Studio API lets a standard editor-level user create class definitions without administrative rights, because the POST /pimcore-studio/api/class/definition/configuration-view/detail/create endpoint checks the 'objects' permission rather than the 'classes' permission. Because class-definition creation writes new database tables and PHP class files to the server, this permission gap grants low-privileged users significant control over the application's data model and codebase, and absent API-layer UID validation malformed UIDs reach model-layer validation and surface internal exceptions. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the flaw is fixed in 2025.4.6 and 2026.1.6.

Technical ContextAI

Pimcore is a PHP-based open-source Data & Experience Management Platform (PIM/DXP) whose 'Studio' backend bundle exposes a REST API for administering the object model. In Pimcore, class definitions are schema-level artifacts: creating one dynamically generates backing database tables and auto-generated PHP class files on the server filesystem, so the ability to create them is normally reserved for administrators via the dedicated 'classes' permission. The root cause maps to CWE-285 (Improper Authorization): the create endpoint was wired to the 'objects' permission - the routine content-editing capability every editor holds - instead of the privileged 'classes' permission, collapsing an admin-only operation to editor scope. A secondary weakness is a missing API-layer input validation step on the UID format, which lets malformed UIDs pass through to model-layer validation and produce internal exceptions rather than being rejected cleanly at the boundary.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade the Pimcore studio-backend-bundle to 2025.4.6 (https://github.com/pimcore/studio-backend-bundle/releases/tag/v2025.4.6) if on the 2025.x line, or to 2026.1.6 (https://github.com/pimcore/studio-backend-bundle/releases/tag/v2026.1.6) if on the 2026.x line; the corrective change is tracked in PR #1886 and commit d1a4788c0f159c360d550c34256c8abbbd633ae0, and details are in advisory GHSA-f97c-ph8j-8vff. If immediate patching is not possible, the practical compensating control is to tightly restrict which accounts hold editor-level access and audit the user/role list, since exploitation depends on holding an editor session; where feasible, block or restrict access to the POST /pimcore-studio/api/class/definition/configuration-view/detail/create endpoint at a reverse proxy or WAF for non-administrative users, accepting the side effect that any legitimate non-admin workflow touching that route will break. Also monitor for unexpected new class definitions, database tables, or generated PHP class files as a detective control. These mitigations reduce but do not eliminate exposure and are inferior to applying the fixed release.
