CVE-2026-124427: Craft CMS authorization bypass in GraphQL schema scope

CVE-2026-124427 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.8 · Published 2026-11-08

Craft CMS is a content management system used to build websites and applications. An authorization flaw allows anonymous attackers to read restricted content from the GraphQL API by exploiting navigation fields, exposing section entries that administrators intentionally hid from public access. An attacker needs only the GraphQL endpoint URL to enumerate and read titles, slugs, and custom field data from restricted sections.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass (CWE-862) in Craft CMS's GraphQL schema scope enforcement. Anonymous clients can traverse out-of-scope section entries by chaining prev/next fields from a visible in-scope entry, bypassing the schema-based access control. The attack requires GraphQL API to be enabled with a public or scoped schema that grants read access to at least one section while withholding another that shares an entry type; no authentication, session, or user interaction is needed.

Affected products

  • Craft CMS 5.0.0 before 5.11.2
