Real-World Exposure

Description
The reorder-sets action in Craft CMS’s GlobalsController is missing the requireAdmin() check that the adjacent save-set and delete-set actions both enforce. Any authenticated control panel user can POST to /actions/globals/reorder-sets and permanently reorder all global sets in the project config, regardless of whether they have admin access. The reordering is written through to the project config and persists across requests.
Description
GlobalsController exposes three administrative actions for managing global set structure. Two of them gate on admin status; the third does not.
Prerequisites
- A Craft CMS instance with at least two global sets and a non-admin control panel user account.
Impact
A non-admin control panel user can reorder all global sets. While this does not expose or modify content, reordering global sets modifies the project config -- a versioned artifact that is typically committed to source control and deployed across environments. An attacker can create noise in the project config history, trigger config-sync conflicts, or manipulate the display order seen by all editors in the admin panel. The same non-admin user cannot create or delete global sets because those actions correctly enforce requireAdmin().

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for craftcms/cms, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update craftcms/cms to 4.18.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-14793 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-14793 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-14793. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-14793 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2026-14793 across Packagist dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
