CVE-2026-45334 Details
Description
Kirby is an open-source content management system. In versions prior to 4.9.1 and 5.4.1, the content-locking feature returned lock information without checking the requesting user's access permissions. Kirby's Panel includes a content-locking feature that records which user currently has a model open for editing. This lock prevents conflicting edits by multiple users and displays the locking user's identity in the Panel UI so other users know who to contact. Internally, the locking user's email address and identifier are included in every Panel view payload and in error responses returned when a user attempts to edit a model that is currently locked by another user. This allowed a low-privilege authenticated Panel user, whose role was configured with users.access: false or users.list: false, to learn the email address and identifier of any user who currently had a model open for editing in the Panel, including administrators and other higher-privilege users. Content locks are active for a configurable window (10 minutes by default). The email address can allow admin account enumeration, target phishing, and feed credential-stuffing attacks against the Kirby installation or other sites. The internal user ID can be cross-referenced with other endpoints once the requester has obtained a higher privilege through unrelated means. This issue has been fixed in versions 4.9.1 and 5.4.1.
A vulnerability exists in Kirby, an open-source content management system, in versions prior to 4.9.1 and 5.4.1. The issue arises from the content-locking feature, which fails to verify a user's access permissions before disclosing lock information. This feature is designed to prevent conflicting edits by multiple users by indicating who is currently editing a model. However, the system inadvertently exposes the email addresses and identifiers of users, including those with administrative privileges, to low-privilege authenticated Panel users whose roles restrict access to user information. This flaw could be exploited to enumerate admin accounts, facilitate phishing attacks, and conduct credential-stuffing attacks against the affected Kirby installation or other sites.
Users can update to Kirby versions 4.9.1 or 5.4.1 to address this vulnerability. In these versions, the content-lock information is filtered according to the user's permissions, ensuring that only authorized users can access details about who is editing a model.
