Craft CMS 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.10.5 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability. A control-panel user holding only the viewCategories permission (without saveCategories) for a category group can permanently modify that group's category structure - reordering and re-parenting categories - via the structures/move-element action. The structureEditable flag is computed from the view permission rather than the save permission, and the StructuresController authorizes the mutating action on that read-time session grant without a save re-check. Because a category's URI is derived from its position in the structure, moving a category changes its URL and those of its descendants and can corrupt navigation menus built from the category taxonomy. The issue is fixed in 5.10.6.
AnalysisAI
Broken access control in Craft CMS 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.10.5 lets a control-panel user holding only the viewCategories permission permanently reorder and re-parent categories through the structures/move-element action, despite lacking saveCategories. Because category URIs are derived from structure position, an attacker can silently change category URLs and those of all descendants and corrupt taxonomy-driven navigation menus. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated Craft CMS control-panel account that holds the viewCategories permission for at least one category group but NOT saveCategories - this exact permission combination is the prerequisite, and the mutating request must target the structures/move-element action. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals conflict and must be reconciled. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A disgruntled junior editor granted only view access to a product-category group opens the category index, then issues a structures/move-element request to re-parent a top-level category under another node. The taxonomy silently reorders, rewriting the URIs of that category and all its children, breaking existing links and corrupting the site's navigation menus. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade Craft CMS to 5.10.6 or later (composer require craftcms/cms:^5.10.6 followed by php craft up), which adds the missing save-permission re-check; the fix is in commit eb63721b8476ef53f21d7de53d156eef531cb57d. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all Craft CMS instances running versions 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.10.5 and restrict control-panel access to trusted administrators only. …
