Description
Xibo is an open source digital signage platform with a web content management system and Windows display player software. Prior to 4.4.3, missing access-control checks on `GET /layout/status/{id}` allow an authenticated user with any privileges to view the `status and metadata` of any layout, including layouts for which the user does not have view rights. This issue is fixed in version 4.4.3.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an IDOR flaw in the "GET /layout/status/{id}" endpoint, allowing any authenticated user, regardless of their privileges, to retrieve status and metadata for arbitrary layouts. This can expose sensitive information such as layout schedules, associated devices, or organisational data, thereby compromising confidentiality of the digital signage content.

Affected Systems

Xibo Signage Xibo CMS versions prior to 4.4.3 are affected. Users running any version before the 4.4.3 release may exploit the missing access‑control check.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates a moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, so the probability of exploitation cannot be quantified, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The flaw requires authenticated access; an attacker must be logged into the CMS with any role and can then retrieve metadata for any layout by altering the {id} path component. Given the straightforward nature of the attack and the lack of mitigation in earlier releases, the risk to confidential data is considerable for systems with broad user access.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install Xibo CMS version 4.4.3 or newer to remove the access‑control flaw.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, restrict the /layout/status endpoint to administrators or a minimal set of privileged users via a firewall rule or reverse‑proxy configuration.
  • Adjust role‑based permissions so that users without explicit view rights cannot access layout status and audit the access controls to ensure they are enforced correctly.
