Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-09 20:53 – Updated: 2026-10-09 20:53core-bundle/config/services.yaml registers the preview access voter with the class Contao\CoreBundle\Security\Voter\DataContainer\PreviewAccessVoter, but the class shipped on disk is named PreviewVoter. Symfony resolves the class with getReflectionClass($class, false), gets null, silently skips the interface based autoconfiguration that would have tagged it as a voter, and the now untagged private service is removed when the container is compiled. The application boots without a warning, and the ownership rule in PreviewVoter::hasAccess() is never executed. tl_preview_link has no compensating SQL filter on createdBy, so any non administrator back end user whose group holds the preview_link module reads every preview link on the installation and lifts the already signed share URLs straight out of the list. Following one grants front end preview of the target page, with showUnpublished and with no page permission check, to anyone at all.
Impact
A non administrator back end user reads every preview link on the installation, including links created by administrators, and lifts the already signed share URLs out of the list. Following one grants front end preview of the target page with showUnpublished and with no page permission check at all, so unpublished or embargoed content becomes readable by a user who has no rights on those pages, and by anyone that user forwards the URL to.
Honesty caveat, stated because it bounds the severity. UpdateAction on a record owned by someone else was denied in our lab by DcaPermissionVoter, so we do not claim that a foreign preview link can be edited or deleted.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
