GHSA-f582-6gf6-gx4g — craftcms/cms
Fix: craftcms/cms@3c1ab1cGHSA-f582-6gf6-gx4g is a CWE-285 vulnerability in craftcms/cms. A fix is available for craftcms/cms — see the affected versions and patch details below.
Craft CMS has an authorization bypass which allows any control panel user to move entries without permissions
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

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
actionMoveToSectionModalDatafor 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.

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 5.9.14 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-f582-6gf6-gx4g 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 GHSA-f582-6gf6-gx4g can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-f582-6gf6-gx4g. 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-f582-6gf6-gx4g in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-f582-6gf6-gx4g across Packagist dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
