SCA: security update for django-cms (GHSA-4xfr-4p46-gc6p)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446210

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 5.0.8, 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. (CVE-2026-54622)

Solution

Update the django-cms library and its related packages to version 5.0.8 or later.
