Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 7.0.9\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 7.0.9\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected from 7.1; fixed in 7.3.4\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected from 7.1; fixed in 7.3.4\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected from 7.4; fixed in 7.4.3\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected from 7.4; fixed in 7.4.3\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected from 8.0rc1; fixed in 8.0rc2\n- wagtail (PyPI): affected from 8.0rc1; fixed in 8.0rc2\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/GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2/index.md)","id":"GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2/index.md","name":"GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Wagtail CMS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A user with add permission can copy inaccessible snippets to view their contents, bypassing view restrictions in Wagtail CMS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"### Impact\nA CMS user with \"add\" permission over a snippet model, but not \"change\" or \"view\" permission, could copy an existing snippet that they do not have access to, allowing them to view its contents.\n\n### Patches\nPatched versions have been released as Wagtail 7.0.9, 7.3.4, 7.4.3 and 8.0rc2.\n\n### Workarounds\nN/A\n\n### Acknowledgements\nMany thanks to tinyb0y for reporting this issue.\n\n### For more information\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n\n* Visit Wagtail's [support channels](https://docs.wagtail.org/en/stable/support.html)\n* Email us at [security@wagtail.org](mailto:security@wagtail.org) (view our [security policy](https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/security/policy) for more information).","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Wagtail: Improper permission handling when copying snippets","id":"GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"advisory","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":8,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["7.0.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["7.0.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","source":"GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["7.3.4"],"introduced":["7.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["7.3.4"],"introduced":["7.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","source":"GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["7.4.3"],"introduced":["7.4"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["7.4.3"],"introduced":["7.4"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","source":"GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["8.0rc2"],"introduced":["8.0rc1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["8.0rc2"],"introduced":["8.0rc1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","source":"GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-20","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":"A user with add permission can copy inaccessible snippets to view their contents, bypassing view restrictions in Wagtail CMS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/GHSA-x5cx-w6p2-mxf2/"}
