SCA: security update for django-cms (GHSA-6x92-6vx4-5fwr)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446188

Description

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

 - django CMS is an easy-to-use and developer-friendly enterprise content management system powered by
 Django. Prior to 5.0.9, page duplication lacks an object-level authorization check on the source page. In
 cms/admin/forms.py, DuplicatePageForm.source accepts any Page, the AddPageForm constructor does not narrow
 a hidden source field, AddPageForm.clean does not validate the source against the user, and
 AddPageForm.save calls from_source. In cms/admin/pageadmin.py, duplicate and PageAdmin.has_add_permission
 check only whether a staff user may add a page. A crafted source value can therefore copy every
 placeholder and plugin from an unauthorized page with permissions=False, stripping source view
 restrictions and exposing content across sites or restricted subtrees when CMS_PERMISSION is enabled. This
 issue is fixed in versions 5.0.9. (CVE-2026-63003)

Solution

Update the django-cms library and its related packages to version 5.0.9 or later.
