Craft CMS has an authorization bypass which allows any control panel user to move entries without permissions

  • Disclosed: 24.03.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Summary

An authenticated control panel user with only accessCp can move entries across sections via POST /actions/entries/move-to-section, even when they do not have saveEntries:{sectionUid} permission for either source or destination section.

Details

Root-cause analysis

  1. actionMoveToSection accepts sectionId and entryIds, loads entries, and iterates: Craft::$app->getEntries()->moveEntryToSection($entry, $section).
  2. The endpoint does not enforce per-entry or per-section authorization checks.
  3. moveEntryToSection() also does not enforce current-user authorization.
  4. There is a permission check in actionMoveToSectionModalData for building UI options, but that check is not enforced in the actual endpoint.
  5. Therefore, a direct POST request can bypass UI filtering and perform unauthorized entry moves.

Impact

  • This is an authorization bypass permitting unauthorized content changes.
  • Authenticated low-privileged control panel users can move entries they should not be able to manage, violating integrity and potentially disrupting routing/editorial controls.
