This medium-severity CVE scores 5.4 under the CNA's CVSS (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours).

Decidim: Forms admin question editor lacks authorization

Description

A participant can load the demographics questionnaire admin editor and make changes.

Technical description

The demographics questionnaire editor should require admin access, but the route under /admin/demographics/questions renders the editor interface without checking whether the caller is an admin. A normal participant can load the page and see the live update form action, which proves the protected interface is reachable.

Reproduction steps:

Step 1. Sign in as a normal participant: Open http://localhost:3000/users/sign_in. Step 2. Request the admin-only editor directly. Open http://localhost:3000/admin/demographics/questions/edit_questions in the same browser. Step 3. Add another question:

Note that access was denied when attempting to see question responses or settings.

Impact

  • Low-privilege users can access questionnaire-admin interfaces.
  • They can read question-management surfaces that should remain limited to questionnaire managers.

Patches

Workarounds

Disable the "decidim-demographics" module
