Technical details

An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in Concrete CMS versions 9.5.0 and below within the survey functionality. The root cause is a lack of proper authorization checks on the survey voting endpoint. If a site hosts both public and private surveys, an unauthenticated attacker can discover the 'optionID' for a restricted survey and submit it through the public survey's endpoint. This allows the attacker to bypass access controls and register votes in surveys intended to be private. The vulnerability is addressed in version 9.5.1.
