CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability in django CMS allows a staff user with global add permissions to copy plugins from unauthorized pages or placeholders into their clipboard, potentially exposing sensitive information such as secret text, link names, and URLs. This issue arises from insufficient validation of the source placeholder when using the copy_plugins endpoint. Organizations using versions prior to 5.0.8 should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive content.

Original NVD Description
django CMS is an easy-to-use and developer-friendly enterprise content management system powered by Django. Prior to 5.0.8, the copy_plugins endpoint in cms/admin/placeholderadmin.py authorizes only the destination clipboard. The _copy_plugin_to_clipboard and _copy_placeholder_to_clipboard paths accept source_placeholder_id and source_plugin_id values but use has_copy_plugins_permission and check_source only for the requesting user’s clipboard, without validating the source placeholder. Under CMS_PERMISSION, a staff user with the global add permission for a plugin type can copy plugins from an unauthorized page or placeholder into the user’s clipboard and read secret text, link names, and URLs. This issue is fixed in versions 5.0.8.
