Summary

In Kirby CMS versions 5.0.0 through 5.1.3, attackers could change the title of any page or the name of any user to a malicious string, then modify any content field of the same model without saving, making the model appear in the "Changes" dialog. When another authenticated user opened that dialog in their Panel, the malicious code was executed. The vulnerability affects Kirby 5 sites where potential attackers may be authenticated Panel users or where external visitors can update page titles or usernames.

Risk Assessment

Malicious code can execute in an administrator's or editor's browser after user interaction, potentially leading to session hijacking or content modification. The attack requires interaction by another Panel user and cannot be automated.

Recommendation

Update Kirby to version 5.1.4 or later. Restrict the ability of untrusted parties to update page titles and usernames, and review Panel user permissions.

Original NVD description (English source)

Kirby is an open-source content management system. From versions 5.0.0 to 5.1.3, attackers could change the title of any page or the name of any user to a malicious string. Then they could modify any content field of the same model without saving, making the model a candidate for display in the "Changes" dialog. If another authenticated user subsequently opened the dialog in their Panel, the malicious code would be executed. This vulnerability affects all Kirby 5 sites that might have potential attackers in the group of authenticated Panel users or that allow external visitors to update page titles or usernames. The attack requires user interaction by another Panel user and cannot be automated. This issue has been patched in version 5.1.4.
