CVE-2023-37649Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthorized content disclosure via unchecked relational mappings

Published Jul 20, 2023 · Updated Oct 24, 2024

Incorrect access control in Cockpit CMS before 2.6.0 allows remote attackers to read protected records through the Content API. The populate function trusts user-supplied _model and _id relational fields, then resolves and returns referenced records without checking read authorization. Exploitation requires a writable collection, the target model name, and a predictable object ID; successful requests disclose only the referenced content.
