Summary
Winter: Broken access control in `Cms\Controllers\Index` allows cross-template actions and unauthorized asset uploads
Details

Impact

Affected versions of Winter CMS did not enforce per-template-type permission checks in the CMS section's AJAX handlers. The CMS controller (Cms\Controllers\Index) used OR-logic across its five permissions (cms.manage_pages, cms.manage_partials, cms.manage_layouts, cms.manage_content, cms.manage_assets) to control access to the section as a whole, but individual handlers such as onSave(), onDelete(), and onDeleteTemplates() did not verify that the authenticated user holds the specific permission corresponding to the requested template type.

This allowed a backend user with any single Theme Editor permission (e.g. cms.manage_pages) to craft AJAX requests targeting template types outside their authorized scope — for example, deleting layouts, modifying partials, or reading content files.

In addition, the AssetList widget was registered for all users who passed the controller gate regardless of whether they held the cms.manage_assets permission, and its onUpload() handler was missing the validateRequestTheme() call that is present on all other mutating handlers in the same widget. This allowed unauthorized file uploads into the active theme's asset directory.

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_pages
  • cms.manage_partials
  • cms.manage_layouts
  • cms.manage_content
  • cms.manage_assets

The Winter CMS maintainers strongly recommend that all Winter CMS sites that rely on granular CMS permission assignments (specifically users with only access to cms.manage_content to only be able to edit content files through the Theme Editor) to update immediately.

Patches

Per-template-type permission checks are now enforced on all Theme Editor AJAX handlers, the AssetList widget is only registered for users with the cms.manage_assets permission, and onUpload() now includes theme validation consistent with the other mutating handlers.

This security issue has been fixed as of v1.2.13.

Workarounds

If users cannot upgrade, they may apply the following changes to their Winter CMS installation manually to resolve this issue:

  1. In modules/cms/controllers/Index.php, wrap each widget registration in the constructor with the corresponding hasAccess() check, and add a validateRequestType() call to the index_onOpenTemplate(), onSave(), onCreateTemplate(), onDeleteTemplates(), onDelete(), onCommit(), and onReset() handlers that verifies the user holds the permission for the requested template type.
  2. In modules/cms/widgets/AssetList.php, add a $this->validateRequestTheme() call at the top of the onUpload() method.

Details

The Asset Libraries module in Liferay Portal 7.3.5 through 7.4.3.28, and Liferay DXP 7.3 before update 8, and DXP 7.4 before update 29 does not properly check permissions of asset libraries, which allows remote authenticated users to view asset libraries via the UI.

Mitigation MIT-46
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

  • Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
  • Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
Mitigation
Implementation

Always check to see if you have successfully accessed a resource or system functionality, and use proper error handling if it is unsuccessful. Do this even when you are operating in a highly privileged mode, because errors or environmental conditions might still cause a failure. For example, environments with highly granular permissions/privilege models, such as Windows or Linux capabilities, can cause unexpected failures.
