AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability exists in Craft CMS versions from 5.3.0 up to but not including 5.9.14. It allows an authenticated control panel user who only has access to the control panel (accessCp) to move entries across different sections using the POST /actions/entries/move-to-section endpoint. This action can be performed even if the user does not have the required saveEntries permission for either the source or destination section.
The issue was fixed in version 5.9.14.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This could lead to unauthorized content manipulation, potentially disrupting content organization, workflow, or exposing content to unintended sections.
