Umbraco Allows Improper API Access Control to Low-Privilege Users to Data Type Functionality

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.32% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Umbraco.Cms.Api.Management (NuGet) 15.2.3, 14.3.3.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Umbraco.Cms.Api.Management (NuGet) 15.2.3, 14.3.3 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Umbraco is a free and open source .NET content management system. An improper API access control issue has been identified Umbraco's API management package prior to versions 15.2.3 and 14.3.3, allowing low-privilege, authenticated users to create and update data type information that should be restricted to users with access to the settings section. The issue is patched in versions 15.2.3 and 14.3.3. No known workarounds are available.
