GHSA-2H7V-4372-F6X2
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-04 19:50 – Updated: 2026-05-13 13:38TL;DR
This vulnerability affects all Kirby sites that might have potential attackers in the group of authenticated Panel users.
This vulnerability is of high severity for affected sites.
Sites using Kirby are not affected if they intend all users of the site to be able to list and access the site model and all users and roles, including the content stored within these models. Write actions are not affected by this vulnerability as they were gated by permissions before.
Introduction
Missing authorization allows authenticated users to perform actions they are not intended to have access to.
The effects of missing authorization can include unauthorized access to sensitive information as well as unauthorized changes to content or system information.
Impact
Kirby's user permissions control which user role is allowed to perform specific actions to content models in the CMS. These permissions are defined for each role in the user blueprint (site/blueprints/users/...). It is also possible to customize the permissions for each target model in the model blueprints (such as in site/blueprints/pages/...) using the options feature. The permissions and options together control the authorization of user actions.
In affected releases, Kirby did not provide permission settings that control the access to the site model as well as to users and user roles. If the site developer disabled all permissions via the wildcard "*": false setting, this only disabled the actions that were explicitly gated by existing permissions.
To be specific, the following permissions were missing in affected releases and have been added in the patches:
site.accessuser.accessandusers.access(for the own user and other users respectively)user.listandusers.list(for the own user and other users respectively)
Access to role information such as the list of existing roles, their names and descriptions as well as their configured permissions were also not gated by user-based permissions.
Patches
The problem has been patched in Kirby 4.9.0 and Kirby 5.4.0. Please update to one of these or a later version to fix the vulnerability.
In all of the mentioned releases, Kirby has added the missing permissions that are listed in the "Impact" section. The user.access and users.access permissions also take effect on the access to the user's own role and to other roles respectively.
Credits
Kirby thanks @HuajiHD for responsibly reporting the identified issue.

}
Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
