Publication date: 2026-02-27

Last updated on: 2026-03-10

Assigner: GitHub, Inc.

Description
Statmatic is a Laravel and Git powered content management system (CMS). Starting in version 6.0.0 and prior to version 6.4.0, Authenticated Control Panel users may under certain conditions obtain elevated privileges without completing the intended verification step. This can allow access to sensitive operations and, depending on the user’s existing permissions, may lead to privilege escalation. This has been fixed in 6.4.0.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects Statamic, a Laravel and Git powered content management system (CMS). In versions starting from 6.0.0 up to but not including 6.4.0, authenticated Control Panel users can, under certain conditions, bypass an intended verification step. This bypass allows them to obtain elevated privileges beyond what they should normally have.

Essentially, users who are already authenticated but have limited permissions may exploit this flaw to gain higher-level access without completing the required verification process.

This issue was fixed in version 6.4.0.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to privilege escalation, meaning that users with limited permissions could gain access to sensitive operations or data that they should not be able to access.

Because the vulnerability allows bypassing verification steps, it can compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the system, potentially leading to unauthorized changes, data exposure, or disruption of services.

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity impact, with potential consequences including complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
