## What is GHSA-52cx-hpc5-cxwc?

GHSA-52cx-hpc5-cxwc is a missing authorization vulnerability in silverstripe/framework, published on 27 May 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The SS_Report, and the reports CMS section only checks `canView()` when listing the reports that can be viewed by the current user.

It does not (and should) perform `canView` checks when the report is actually viewed, so if you know the URL to a report and can otherwise access the Reports section of the CMS, you can view any report.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
