GHSA-rvmm-v933-jgxq
GHSA-rvmm-v933-jgxq is a security vulnerability in craftcms/cms. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-rvmm-v933-jgxq is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Craft CMS: Missing authorization check allows non-admin control panel users access to user registration metrics
Blast Radius
craftcms/cms🐘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
ChartsController::actionGetNewUsersData() at /actions/charts/get-new-users-data is missing a requirePermission('viewUsers') authorization check. Any authenticated control panel user, regardless of permissions beyond accessCp, can POST to this endpoint to receive time-series user registration counts for the entire site or for an arbitrary user group ID.
The viewUsers permission is consistently required throughout the control panel before exposing user-related data, but this action enforces only the base accessCp check inherited from the framework.
Each call returns the total count of users who joined the specified group in the requested period.
Impact
Any control panel user with only accessCp permission can obtain the total number of registered users and their registration date distribution across any time window.
In installations with multiple editor roles, this allows a low-privilege control panel user to infer user group sizes and registration trends that would normally require the viewUsers permission to access.
No user PII (name, email, password) is disclosed; only aggregate counts and timestamps are returned. Confidentiality impact is low. No integrity or availability impact.

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 4.18.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-rvmm-v933-jgxq 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-rvmm-v933-jgxq 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-rvmm-v933-jgxq. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
