CVE-2026-125398 PUBLISHED

Instatic before 0.0.21 Authorization Bypass via Row Author Reassignment Endpoint

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 09.11.2026 Published: 09.11.2026 Updated: 09.11.2026

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.
