How to Fix GHSA-x5w2-wcr8-9q45

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: 3.1.17 
Upgrade silverstripe/framework to 3.1.17
silverstripe/framework fixed: 3.2.2 
Upgrade silverstripe/framework to 3.2.2
silverstripe/framework fixed: 3.3.0 
Upgrade silverstripe/framework to 3.3.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for silverstripe/framework

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-x5w2-wcr8-9q45, 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 3.1.17), 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-425: Direct Request ('Forced Browsing'), where the web application does not adequately enforce appropriate authorization on all restricted urls, scripts, or files. 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 buildDefaults method on DevelopmentAdmin is missing a permission check. In live mode, if you access /dev/build, you are requested to login first. However, if you access /dev/build/defaults, then the action is performed without any login check. This should be protected in the same way that /dev/build is. The buildDefaults view is requireDefaultRecords() on each DataObject class, and hence has the potential to modify database state. It also lists all modified tables, allowing attackers more insight into which modules are used, and how the database tables are structured.
