How to Fix CVE-2023-50462

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected T3s/content consent dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

t3s/content-consent fixed: 2.0.2 
Upgrade t3s/content-consent to 2.0.2
t3s/content-consent fixed: 1.0.3 
Upgrade t3s/content-consent to 1.0.3
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 t3s/content-consent

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-50462, inspect your project dependencies for T3s/content consent:

inspect dependencies for t3s/content-consent

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of T3s/content consent in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.0.2), 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 General Security Weakness. In T3s/content consent, 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 extension fails to verify whether a specified content element identifier is permitted by the plugin. This enables an unauthenticated user to display various content elements, leading to an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability with the potential to expose internal content elements.
