SCA: security update for django-cms (GHSA-8qj2-c6q4-f399)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446203

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, render_object_structure fails to authorize non-PageContent objects that use
 PlaceholderRelationField. An active staff user without cms.use_structure or model-level view or change
 permission can request the //admin/cms/placeholder/object/<content_type_id>/structure/<object_id>/
 endpoint with guessed content_type_id and object_id values. The response discloses placeholder slot names,
 plugin trees, plugin identifiers, labels, and object existence for frontend-editable objects. The fix
 applies user_can_view_placeholder_source to the non-PageContent branch while keeping the structure board
 read-only for view-only users. This issue is fixed in versions 5.0.9. (CVE-2026-61663)

Solution

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