SCA: security update for winter/wn-cms-module (GHSA-xhw3-4j3m-hq53)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420534
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Winter is a free, open-source content management system (CMS) based on the Laravel PHP framework. Winter
CMS prior to versions 1.2.7, 1.1.11, and 1.0.476 allow users with access to the CMS templates sections
that modify Twig files to bypass the sandbox placed on Twig files and modify resources such as theme
customisation values or modify, or remove, templates in the theme even if not provided direct access via
the permissions. As all objects passed through to Twig are references to the live objects, it is also
possible to also manipulate model data if models are passed directly to Twig, including changing
attributes or even removing records entirely. In most cases, this is unwanted behavior and potentially
dangerous. To actively exploit this security issue, an attacker would need access to the Backend with a
user account with any of the following permissions: `cms.manage_layouts`; `cms.manage_pages`; or
`cms.manage_partials`. The Winter CMS maintainers strongly recommend that these permissions only be
reserved to trusted administrators and developers in general. The maintainers of Winter CMS have
significantly increased the scope of the sandbox, effectively making all models and datasources read-only
in Twig, in versions 1.2.7, 1.1.11, and 1.0.476. Thse who cannot upgrade may apply commit
fb88e6fabde3b3278ce1844e581c87dcf7daee22 to their Winter CMS installation manually to resolve the issue.
In the rare event that a Winter user was relying on being able to write to models/datasources within their
Twig templates, they should instead use or create components to make changes to their models.
