Summary

Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 and < 5.10.11 fail to perform an independent authorization check in ElementsController::actionDeleteForSite(). The method loads an element with checkForProvisionalDraft enabled and runs the deletion authorization check against the user's own provisional draft (which only verifies draft ownership), then propagates the deletion to the canonical element without re-checking permissions. As a result, an authenticated user who has viewEntries, viewPeerEntries, saveEntries, savePeerEntries, and editSite permissions but lacks the deleteEntriesForSite permission can hard-delete a canonical entry's site record (and, for single-site entries, the full element and content), which is irrecoverable via Craft's recycle bin.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of craftcms/cms published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
