craftcms/cms is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation
43
Medium Risk
This Affects:
craftcms/cmsTL;DR
craftcms/cms lets control panel users holding administrateUsers activate other accounts. The activate-user action did not require the caller to be an admin when the target account is an admin. A non-admin with that permission could therefore activate admin accounts. The fix requires the caller to be an admin before activating an admin target.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you have granted the administrateUsers permission to non-admin control panel users.
Background info
craftcms/cms is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions 3.1.0 - 5.10.11.
How to fix this
Upgrade the craftcms/cms library to the patch version.
