AI-Generated

Kirby, an open-source content management system, is vulnerable to improper validation of model attributes in collection queries, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary model methods. This can lead to exposure of sensitive data, privilege escalation, or unauthorized deletion of models, depending on the attacker's permissions. Organizations using versions prior to 4.9.1 and 5.4.1 should prioritize upgrading to mitigate these risks.

Original NVD Description

Kirby is an open-source content management system. Prior to 4.9.1 and 5.4.1, Kirby did not validate the model attributes that were used in its collection queries, allowing attackers to include arbitrary model methods in their queries. This includes methods with sensitive data such as password() (disclosing the password hash) or root() (disclosing the absolute filesystem path on the server) as well as methods that perform impactful actions such as loginPasswordless() (causing a privilege escalation to another user) or delete() (deleting all queried models in one go if the authenticated user has appropriate permissions). This issue has been fixed in versions 4.9.1 and 5.4.1.
