An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-45809 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.1.9, 5.0.5, 5.1.3\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.1.9\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.1.9\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected from 4.2.0; fixed in 5.0.5\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected from 4.2.0; fixed in 5.0.5\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected from 5.1.0; fixed in 5.1.3\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected from 5.1.0; fixed in 5.1.3\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45809/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45809/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-45809","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45809/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-45809","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fc75-58r8-rm3h","PYSEC-2023-219"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Wagtail CMS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Limited-permission editors can retrieve display names of any user via bulk action views, exposing sensitive user information.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"wagtail","vendor":"torchbox"}],"cvss":{"score":2.7,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-532","name":"Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File"},{"id":"CWE-425","name":"Direct Request"},{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Wagtail is an open source content management system built on Django. A user with a limited-permission editor account for the Wagtail admin can make a direct URL request to the admin view that handles bulk actions on user accounts. While authentication rules prevent the user from making any changes, the error message discloses the display names of user accounts, and by modifying URL parameters, the user can retrieve the display name for any user. The vulnerability is not exploitable by an ordinary site visitor without access to the Wagtail admin. Patched versions have been released as Wagtail 4.1.8 (LTS), 5.0.5 and 5.1.3. The fix is also included in Release Candidate 1 of the forthcoming Wagtail 5.2 release. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Disclosure of user names via admin bulk action views in wagtail","id":"CVE-2023-45809","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2023"},"n_packages":7,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"OpenFGA denial of service","id":"CVE-2023-45810"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.1.9","5.0.5","5.1.3"],"introduced":["0","4.2","5.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","source":"PYSEC-2023-219"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.1.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fc75-58r8-rm3h"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.1.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","source":"GHSA-fc75-58r8-rm3h"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["5.0.5"],"introduced":["4.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fc75-58r8-rm3h"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["5.0.5"],"introduced":["4.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","source":"GHSA-fc75-58r8-rm3h"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["5.1.3"],"introduced":["5.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-fc75-58r8-rm3h"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["5.1.3"],"introduced":["5.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","source":"GHSA-fc75-58r8-rm3h"}],"prev":{"headline":"iTop missing silo check on extkey in console and portal","id":"CVE-2023-45808"},"products":["wagtail"],"published":"2023-10-19","related":[{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Wagtail: Reflected XSS in dynamic image URL generator view","id":"CVE-2026-54263","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-01"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Wagtail: Improper permission handling in image preview","id":"CVE-2026-54261","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-01"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Wagtail: Improper permission handling when comparing revisions","id":"CVE-2026-44197","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-11"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Wagtail: Improper permission handling when deleting form submissions","id":"CVE-2026-44199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-11"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Wagtail: Improper permission handling when copying pages","id":"CVE-2026-44200","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-11"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Wagtail regular expression denial-of-service via search query parsing","id":"CVE-2024-39317","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-11"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Wagtail vulnerable to stored Cross-site Scripting attack via ModelAdmin views","id":"CVE-2023-28836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-03"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["wagtail"]},"summary":"Limited-permission editors can retrieve display names of any user via bulk action views, exposing sensitive user information.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45809/"}
