Craft CMS: Entries Authorship Spoofing via Mass Assignment
Description
The entry creation process allows for Mass Assignment of the authorId attribute. A user with "Create Entries" permission can inject the authorIds[] (or authorId) parameter into the POST request, which the backend processes without verifying if the current user is authorized to assign authorship to others.
Normally, this field is not present in the request for users without the necessary permissions. By manually adding this parameter, an attacker can attribute the new entry to any user, including Admins. This effectively "spoofs" the authorship.
Proof of Concept
Prerequisites
- A user account with "Create Entries" permission for a section.
- Victim's account ID (e.g.,
1for the default Admin).
Steps to Reproduce
- Log in as the attacker
- Navigate to the "Entries" section and click "New Entry"
- Fill in the required fields
- Enable a proxy tool (e.g., Burp Suite) to intercept requests
- Click "Save" & Intercept the request
- In the request body, add a new parameter to the body params:
&authorIds[]=<Victim_ID> - Forward the request
- Log in as an admin / as with the victim account
- Go to entries & Observe the newly created entry is listed and the author is the victim account, not the actual creator
Impact
- A user can create entries that appear to belong to higher-privileged users, potentially bypassing review processes or gaining trust based on false authorship.
- An attacker could post malicious or inappropriate content attributed to an administrator or other trusted users.
