CVE-2026-32638: StudioCMS REST getUsers Exposes Owner Account Records to Admin Tokens
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 10/100)
- 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: 0.39% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: studiocms (npm) 0.4.4.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to studiocms (npm) 0.4.4 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
StudioCMS is a server-side-rendered, Astro native, headless content management system. Prior to 0.4.4, the REST API `getUsers` endpoint in StudioCMS uses the attacker-controlled `rank` query parameter to decide whether owner accounts should be filtered from the result set. As a result, an admin token can request `rank=owner` and receive owner account records, including IDs, usernames, display names, and email addresses, even though the adjacent `getUser` endpoint correctly blocks admins from viewing owner users. This is an authorization inconsistency inside the same user-management surface. Version 0.4.4 fixes the issue.
