Description
Summary
The API endpoint for listing Predefined Properties in the Pimcore platform lacks adequate server-side authorization checks. Predefined Properties are configurable metadata definitions (e.g., name, key, type, default value) used across documents, assets, and objects to standardize custom attributes and improve editorial workflows, as documented in Pimcore's official properties guide. Testing confirmed that an authenticated backend user without explicit permissions for property management could successfully call the endpoint and retrieve the complete list of these configurations. This exemplifies Broken Access Control (OWASP Top 10 A01:2021), enabling unauthorized access to administrative features and potentially violating role-based access controls inherent to Pimcore's multi-user environment.
Details
The backend user without permission was still able to list "Predefined Properties" item
Step to Reproduce the issue
login as Admin (full permission) and clicked "Predefined Properties" <img width="1493" height="862" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 10 11 31 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/005d2704-347c-4aa1-b415-d52ab3794c99" />
Then, captured and saved the request:

Next, login a backend user with no permission <img width="1219" height="744" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 9 06 12 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1dada4c4-d907-4477-9773-70dea3ef5816" />

After that, pasted the copied "Cookie" and "X-Pimcore-Csrf-Token" to captured request

Impact
Exploitation allows low-privileged users to enumerate all Predefined Properties, exposing internal metadata schemas, default values, and configuration details that may reveal business logic, data classification strategies, or sensitive defaults (e.g., proprietary keys or select options). In a PIM system like Pimcore, this could facilitate reconnaissance for further attacks, such as targeted data manipulation or privilege escalation, leading to unauthorized alterations of asset/object properties. For organizations handling regulated content (e.g., e-commerce catalogs under GDPR or PCI DSS), such exposure risks compliance breaches, intellectual property leakage, and operational inconsistencies from unintended property overrides.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for pimcore/admin-ui-classic-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/admin-ui-classic-bundle to 2.2.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hqrp-m84v-2m2f 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-hqrp-m84v-2m2f 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-hqrp-m84v-2m2f. 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-hqrp-m84v-2m2f in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-hqrp-m84v-2m2f across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
