CVE-2026-54624Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Restricted page disclosure via unchecked structure endpoint

Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026

Authorization bypass in django CMS before 5.0.8 allows remote authenticated users to read restricted page plugin data via the structure endpoint. In cms/views.py, render_object_structure loads a PageContent object and renders cms/toolbar/structure.html without calling user_can_view_page(), unlike the edit and preview paths; the response includes each plugin's get_short_description() output such as link names, URLs, and text snippets. Exploitation requires a staff account and CMS_PERMISSION with page view restrictions, or CMS_PUBLIC_FOR set to staff, and exposes page content metadata rather than write access or service interruption.
