7.1 highEPSS 0.3%

High (7.1) in corebunch instatic. EPSS 0.3% estimated probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.

On this page
Instatic before 0.0.21 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in handleRowAuthor that allows authenticated users to skip table-level access checks by loading rows with getDataRow() instead of loadRowForAccess(). Attackers holding content.edit.any but lacking data.system.tables.read can send PATCH requests to /admin/api/cms/data/rows/:id/author to read system-table rows and reassign their authors.
