CVE-2026-112957: ApostropheCMS REST API authorization bypass in getOne endpoint

CVE-2026-112957 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-10-20

ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system used for building and managing websites. Prior to version 4.34.0, the getOne REST endpoint for pages fails to enforce access controls, allowing users with editor-level privileges to read the complete content of admin-only pages and sensitive fields if they know the page identifier. This could lead to unauthorized exposure of confidential content and administrator notes.

Technologies: ApostropheCMS Apostrophe, apostrophe (npm). Vendors: ApostropheCMS, npm.

Technical details

The getOne REST endpoint for pages does not apply viewRole type-level restrictions or viewPermission field-level redaction, while the getAll endpoint correctly enforces both controls. An authenticated editor-level user who obtains a document ID can bypass access controls through the getOne endpoint to retrieve admin-only content and privileged fields. The vulnerability is fixed in version 4.34.0.
