Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid Craft CMS GraphQL API token with at minimum low-privilege (e.g., contributor-level) access to at least one site within the CMS instance (CVSS PR:L confirmed). The deployment must have the multi-site feature active with more than one site configured, since single-site installations present no cross-site boundary. GraphQL mutations (saveEntry or deleteEntry) must be accessible via the API, which is the default configuration when GraphQL is enabled. The attacker must know or enumerate the integer siteId of a target site they are not authorized to access - site IDs are sequential and predictable. Authentication is required; unauthenticated exploitation is not possible.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) correctly reflects network-accessible exploitation requiring only a low-privilege authenticated token, with no special attack conditions. However, the provided vector records VI:N (no integrity impact to the vulnerable system), which directly conflicts with the CVE description's statement that attackers can create, modify, and delete entries in unauthorized sites - both write and delete operations constitute integrity and availability impacts. The vendor's release notes for 5.10.13 label GHSA-4mgp-5vf2-7c9m as a 'high-severity information disclosure vulnerability,' suggesting the vendor may have scoped the confirmed impact more narrowly than the description implies; this discrepancy is not resolved by available data. No KEV listing and no public exploit reduce short-term operational urgency. Real-world impact is most significant for multi-tenant Craft CMS deployments where different clients or editorial teams are isolated across sites, since a compromise of one site's token enables cross-site content tampering.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding a valid Craft CMS GraphQL token for Site A - such as a contributor account on a public-facing sub-site - crafts a deleteEntry mutation that includes a siteId value corresponding to Site B, a restricted internal or client-owned site. The mutation executes without site-scope validation, deleting entries from Site B despite the token having no authorization over that site.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026

GraphQL mutation resolvers in Craft CMS allow authenticated users to create, modify, or delete content entries in sites they are not authorized to access. The saveEntry and deleteEntry resolvers read siteId directly from raw $arguments without invoking ArgumentManager::prepareArguments(), which is the function that enforces per-site scope filtering via array_intersect. Because query resolvers invoke this guard but mutation resolvers do not, the multi-site authorization boundary is structurally absent for all write operations. Vendor-released patch is available in version 5.10.13, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Craft CMS to version 5.10.13 or later, which resolves GHSA-4mgp-5vf2-7c9m as confirmed in the official release notes (https://github.com/craftcms/cms/releases/tag/5.10.13). As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict GraphQL API token issuance to single-site deployments only, or revoke all cross-site tokens and disable mutation access via GraphQL if editorial workflows permit. Alternatively, a WAF or reverse proxy rule can inspect POST bodies targeting the GraphQL endpoint and reject any mutation payload containing a siteId value not matching the token's permitted scope, though this approach is fragile against encoding variations and is not a substitute for patching. Disabling the GraphQL API entirely eliminates the attack surface with the trade-off of breaking any headless front-end integrations.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Craft CMS (cpe:2.3:a:craftcms:cms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a PHP-based content management system with a GraphQL API that supports multi-site deployments, where API tokens are scoped to specific permitted sites. Site-scope enforcement is implemented in ArgumentManager::prepareArguments(), which performs an array_intersect between requested sites and the set of sites allowed by the active GraphQL schema. The ElementResolver::prepareElementQuery path for read queries correctly calls this method, causing unauthorized reads to return empty result sets. The mutation resolvers (saveEntry, deleteEntry) consume siteId from the raw $arguments map prior to any scope-intersection check, completely bypassing the authorization gate. The assigned CWE-89 (SQL Injection) does not describe this flaw; the root cause is an improper authorization check, most accurately mapped to CWE-285 (Improper Authorization) or CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), since the attacker supplies the siteId value that determines which site is targeted.

DescriptionCVE.org

Craft CMS GraphQL entry mutation resolvers (saveEntry, deleteEntry) read siteIddirectly from$argumentswithout passing throughArgumentManagerprepareArguments(), which is the function that enforces site-scope filtering via array_intersect against the GraphQL schema’s allowed sites. The query path (ElementResolverprepareElementQuery) correctly calls prepareArguments()`, so queries to unauthorized sites return empty. But mutations bypass this entirely - an attacker with a token scoped to Site A can create, modify, or delete entries in Site B by passing siteId in the mutations argument.

Technical POC Analysis

The supplied advisory does not support the CVE-2026-79991 summary about GraphQL saveEntry and deleteEntry site-scope bypasses.

Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Craft CMS GraphQL mutations contain an authorization bypass allowing authenticated users to modify or delete content across sites they lack authorization to access. This affects multi-site deployments and enables unauthorized content manipulation or deletion by legitimate API users.
