Cross-group PII disclosure via unfiltered GraphQL relations
Published Sep 2, 2026 · Updated Sep 2, 2026
Improper authorization in Pixel & Tonic Craft CMS before 5.11.0 allows remote authenticated users to read user PII through GraphQL. Native author and uploader relations bypass getEagerLoadingGqlConditions() and resolve directly from source elements without user-group filtering. A GraphQL token limited to one readable group can expose usernames, email addresses, and full names for authors or uploaders in other groups, including administrators.
