Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Summary

An authenticated control panel user with only accessCp can move entries across sections via POST /actions/entries/move-to-section, even when they do not have saveEntries:{sectionUid} permission for either source or destination section.

Details

Root-cause analysis

actionMoveToSection accepts sectionId and entryIds, loads entries, and iterates: Craft::$app->getEntries()->moveEntryToSection($entry, $section).
The endpoint does not enforce per-entry or per-section authorization checks.
moveEntryToSection() also does not enforce current-user authorization.
There is a permission check in actionMoveToSectionModalData for building UI options, but that check is not enforced in the actual endpoint.
Therefore, a direct POST request can bypass UI filtering and perform unauthorized entry moves.

Impact

This is an authorization bypass permitting unauthorized content changes.
Authenticated low-privileged control panel users can move entries they should not be able to manage, violating integrity and potentially disrupting routing/editorial controls.
