How to Fix GHSA-55qg-6c4m-mw6g

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Silverstripe/framework dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

silverstripe/framework fixed: 4.0.4 
Upgrade silverstripe/framework to 4.0.4
silverstripe/framework fixed: 4.1.1 
Upgrade silverstripe/framework to 4.1.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-55qg-6c4m-mw6g, inspect your project dependencies for Silverstripe/framework:

inspect dependencies for silverstripe/framework

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Silverstripe/framework in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.0.4), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Silverstripe/framework, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

The URL parameters `isDev` and `isTest` are accessible to unauthenticated users who access a SilverStripe website or application. This allows unauthorised users to expose information that is usually hidden on production environments such as verbose errors (including backtraces) and other debugging tools only available to sites running in "dev mode". Core functionality does not expose user data through these methods. Depending on your website configuration, community modules might have added more specific functionality which can be used to either access or alter user data. We have fixed the usage of isDev and isTest in SilverStripe 4.x, and removed the URL parameters in the next major release of SilverStripe.
