Kirby is an open-source content management system. Prior to versions 4.9.0 and 5.4.0, Kirby's user permissions control which user role is allowed to perform specific actions to content models in the CMS. These permissions are defined for each role in the user blueprint ( ). It is also possible to customize the permissions for each target model in the model blueprints (such as in ) using the feature. The permissions and options together control the authorization of user actions. For pages, Kirby provides the and permissions (among others). In affected releases, Kirby checked these permissions independently and only for the respective action. However the permission didn't take effect on page creation. New pages are created as drafts by default and need to be published by changing the page status of an existing page draft. This is ensured when the page is created via the Kirby Panel. However the REST API allows to override the flag when creating a new page. This allowed authenticated attackers with the permission to immediately create published pages, bypassing the normal editorial workflow. The problem has been patched in Kirby 4.9.0 and Kirby 5.4.0. Kirby has updated the logic to no longer double-resolve queries in option values coming from or sources. Kirby now only resolves queries that are directly configured in the blueprints.
