CVE-2026-41128
Fix: craftcms/cms@b135384CVE-2026-41128 is a security vulnerability in craftcms/cms. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-41128 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Craft CMS has a Missing Authorization Check on User Group Removal via save-permissions Action
Real-World Exposure
craftcms/cmsReal-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
Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). In versions 5.6.0 through 5.9.14, the actionSavePermissions() endpoint allows a user with only viewUsers permission to remove arbitrary users from all user groups. While _saveUserGroups() enforces per-group authorization for additions, it performs no equivalent authorization check for removals, so submitting an empty groups value removes all existing group memberships. Version 5.9.15 contains a patch.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for craftcms/cms. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update craftcms/cms to 5.9.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-41128 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 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-41128 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-41128. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
