Description
Summary
A low-privileged authenticated user can call assets/image-editor with the ID of a private asset they cannot view and still receive editor response data, including focalPoint.
The endpoint returns private editing metadata without per-asset authorization validation.
Root-cause analysis:
actionImageEditor() accepts assetId from the request body.- The asset is loaded, and the focal-point data is read.
- Response returns
html and focalPoint.
- No explicit authorization check is applied before the response.
Impact
Affected deployments:
- Craft sites where asset edit metadata should remain restricted to authorized users.
Security consequence:
- Unauthorized users can extract private editor metadata and related editor context for inaccessible assets.
