Description

The Layout Builder Advanced Permissions module enables you to have fine grained control over who can do what in editing pages built with Layout Builder.

The module doesn't sufficiently control access for adding sections in the submodule.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with a specific set of permissions:

  • Node: View published content
  • Node: (Your content type): Create new content
  • Node: (Your content type): Edit any content
  • Layout builder: (Your content type): Configure layout overrides for content items that the user can edit
  • Layout builder advanced permissions: Access Layout Builder page

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity low, availability none.
