SCA: security update for silverstripe/graphql, silverstripe/recipe-cms (GHSA-589q-75r3-mfq4)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 433588

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- SilverStripe 4.5.0 allows attackers to read certain records that should not have been placed into a result
set. This affects silverstripe/recipe-cms. The automatic permission-checking mechanism in the
silverstripe/graphql module does not provide complete protection against lists that are limited (e.g.,
through pagination), resulting in records that should have failed a permission check being added to the
final result set. GraphQL endpoints are configured by default (e.g., for assets), but the admin/graphql
endpoint is access protected by default. This limits the vulnerability to all authenticated users,
including those with limited permissions (e.g., where viewing records exposed through admin/graphql
requires administrator permissions). However, if custom GraphQL endpoints have been configured for a
specific implementation (usually under /graphql), this vulnerability could also be exploited through
unauthenticated requests. This vulnerability only applies to reading records; it does not allow
unauthorised changing of records. (CVE-2020-6165)
