MEDIUMPimcore Web2Print Tools Bundle "Favourite Output Channel Configuration" Missing Function Level Authorization
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Summary
The application fails to enforce proper server-side authorization checks on the API endpoint responsible for managing "Favourite Output Channel Configurations." Testing revealed that an authenticated backend user without explicitely lacking permissions for this feature was still able to successfully invoke the endpoint and modify or retrieve these configurations. This violates the principle of least privilege and constitutes a classic example of Broken Access Control (OWASP Top 10 A01:2021). Because authorization is not validated at the function level, any authenticated user can perform actions intended only for privileged roles, leading to horizontal or vertical privilege escalation.
Detail
The backend user without permission was still able to list, create, update "Favourite Output Channel Configuration" item

Impact
Successful exploitation allows low-privileged or standard users to view, create, modify that should be restricted to specific administrative or operational roles. Depending on the sensitivity of these configurations (e.g., routing of alerts, reports, or data streams), an attacker could redirect critical outputs, suppress notifications, insert misleading channels, or gain insight into internal workflows. In regulated environments, this may result in compliance violations, operational disruption, or facilitation of further attacks through reconnaissance.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for pimcore/web2print-tools-bundle. 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 pimcore/web2print-tools-bundle to 6.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-4wg4-p27p-5q2r 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 GHSA-4wg4-p27p-5q2r 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 GHSA-4wg4-p27p-5q2r. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-4wg4-p27p-5q2r in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-4wg4-p27p-5q2r across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
