Description

Statmatic is a Laravel and Git powered content management system (CMS). Starting in version 6.0.0 and prior to version 6.4.0, Authenticated Control Panel users may under certain conditions obtain elevated privileges without completing the intended verification step. This can allow access to sensitive operations and, depending on the user’s existing permissions, may lead to privilege escalation. This has been fixed in 6.4.0.

Affected products

Statamic: from 6.0.0 before 6.4.0 — fixed in 6.4.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Statamic 6.4.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
