Affected: django-cms

django CMS is an easy-to-use and developer-friendly enterprise content management system powered by Django. Prior to 5.0.8, render_object_structure in cms/views.py renders cms/toolbar/structure.html for a PageContent object without calling user_can_view_page(). Any staff account can request a restricted page’s structure when CMS_PERMISSION is enabled and the page has view restrictions or CMS_PUBLIC_FOR is set to staff. The response exposes plugin get_short_description() values, including link names, URLs, and text snippets, rather than only the page shape. This issue is fixed in versions 5.0.8.

Affected: PyPI: django-cms

### Summary The structure-board endpoint (`render_object_structure`) renders a page's plugin structure without verifying that the requesting user is allowed to view the page. The edit and preview endpoints enforce this via `render_page()`, but the structure endpoint does not, allowing a low-privileged staff user to read the plugin structure of a view-restricted page.

### Details `render_object_structure` (in `cms/views.py`) loads the `PageContent` object and renders `cms/toolbar/structure.html` directly. Unlike `render_object_endpoint` (used by edit/preview), which renders through `render_pagecontent` → `render_page` and calls `user_can_view_page(request.user, page)` (returning 404 when the user may not view the page), the structure endpoint performs no page-level authorization.

The rendered structure board includes each plugin's `get_short_description()` (e.g. link names/URLs, text snippets), so the content of a restricted page is disclosed, not just its shape.

### Impact A staff user (any account with `is_staff=True`) who lacks view permission on a view-restricted page can retrieve that page's plugin structure and short descriptions by requesting the structure endpoint with the page's content-type id and object id.

This only applies when `CMS_PERMISSION=True` and the page has view restrictions (or `CMS_PUBLIC_FOR='staff'`). Sites without per-page view restrictions are not affected.

### Patches Fixed in 5.0.8: the structure endpoint now enforces `user_can_view_page()…
