Technical details
The vulnerability is an incorrect authorization flaw in ContentPermissionServices' createContentRole service that fails to properly validate role assignments. When no matching ContentPurposeOperation entry exists for a requested operation and content purpose, the service falls through to a fail-open default-grant branch instead of denying the request, allowing an authenticated attacker with limited permissions to self-assign the OWNER role on arbitrary content. The attacker can then bypass ownership checks to update, remove, or modify status of content they should not have access to.
