What's new

CVE-2026-44197: Improper permission handling when comparing revisions

CVE-2026-44199: Improper permission handling when deleting form submissions

A CMS user with limited access to form pages could delete submissions to form pages they don't have access to by crafting a form submission to delete submissions on a page they do have access to for submissions they don't. The vulnerability is not exploitable by an ordinary site visitor without access to the Wagtail admin.

CVE-2026-44200: Improper permission handling when copying pages

A CMS user with limited access to pages could copy a page they don't have access to to an area of the site they do. Once coped, they'd be able to view its contents, and potentially publish it. Permissions were correctly checked for the copy destination, but not for the source page.

Many thanks to Sanjok Karki for reporting this issue. For further details, please see security advisory GHSA-67rv-mg8q-5pf3.

CVE-2026-44201: Improper restriction handling on Documents and Images API

Many thanks to Sanjok Karki for reporting this issue. For further details, please see security advisory GHSA-p5gm-92h4-6pv6.
