Description
Camaleon CMS through 2.9.2, fixed in commit 88ab703, contains a missing authorization vulnerability on the drafts endpoint that allows any authenticated low-privileged user to create draft posts by bypassing role and permission checks. Attackers can send requests to the drafts endpoint using only session authentication to create unauthorized drafts that appear in the administrative drafts queue.

Impact

Camaleon CMS versions up to 2.9.2 contain a missing authorization check on the /admin/post_type drafts endpoint. Authenticated users with low privileges can issue requests to this endpoint and create draft posts, which then appear in the administrative drafts queue. This flaw does not grant code execution or direct access to sensitive data, but it enables abuse of the CMS content creation workflow and could be leveraged to plant hidden posts or gather information about the site’s content pipeline.

Affected Systems

All installations of Camaleon CMS at or below version 2.9.2 are affected. The vulnerability was fixed in commit 88ab703b5ac041afb93a9993470aa366093c5311, which resolves the authorization bypass on the drafts endpoint.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a medium severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would need to be logged in with a low‑privileged account and must send requests to the drafts endpoint, typically over a web interface accessible via HTTP or HTTPS. The lack of an explicit authorization check allows them to bypass role checks, making the exploit straightforward for authenticated users.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Camaleon CMS to version 2.9.3 or later, which includes the authorization fix for the drafts endpoint.
  • Review and enforce least‑privilege user role assignments to reduce the number of accounts that could exploit the endpoint.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict or block the /admin/post_type/drafts endpoint for low‑privileged users using web‑application‑firewall rules or custom configuration changes to prevent unauthorized draft creation.
