CVE-2026-27198

Formwork is a flat file-based Content Management System (CMS). In versions 2.0.0 through 2.3.3, the application fails to properly enforce role-based authorization during account creation. Although the system validates that the specified role exists, it does not verify whether the current user has sufficient privileges to assign highly privileged roles such as admin. As a result, an authenticated user with the editor role can create a new account with administrative privileges, leading to full administrative access and complete compromise of the CMS. This issue has been fixed in version 2.3.4.

Summary
  • (es) Formwork es un Sistema de Gestión de Contenidos (CMS) basado en archivos planos. En las versiones 2.0.0 a 2.3.3, la aplicación no logra aplicar correctamente la autorización basada en roles durante la creación de cuentas. Aunque el sistema valida que el rol especificado existe, no verifica si el usuario actual tiene privilegios suficientes para asignar roles altamente privilegiados como 'admin'. Como resultado, un usuario autenticado con el rol de 'editor' puede crear una nueva cuenta con privilegios administrativos, lo que lleva a un acceso administrativo completo y a un compromiso total del CMS. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 2.3.4.
