What is GHSA-X5W2-WCR8-9Q45?

GHSA-X5W2-WCR8-9Q45 is a medium-severity security vulnerability in silverstripe/framework (composer), affecting versions >= 3.2.0, <= 3.2.1. It is fixed in 3.2.2, 3.3.0, 3.1.17.

How severe is GHSA-X5W2-WCR8-9Q45?

GHSA-X5W2-WCR8-9Q45 has a CVSS score of 6.5 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.

Which versions of silverstripe/framework are affected by GHSA-X5W2-WCR8-9Q45?

silverstripe/framework (composer) versions >= 3.2.0, <= 3.2.1 is affected.

Is there a fix for GHSA-X5W2-WCR8-9Q45?

Yes. GHSA-X5W2-WCR8-9Q45 is fixed in 3.2.2, 3.3.0, 3.1.17. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is GHSA-X5W2-WCR8-9Q45 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether GHSA-X5W2-WCR8-9Q45 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether GHSA-X5W2-WCR8-9Q45 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

Summary

Silverstripe Missing security check on dev/build/defaults

The buildDefaults method on DevelopmentAdmin is missing a permission check.

In live mode, if you access /dev/build, you are requested to login first. However, if you access /dev/build/defaults, then the action is performed without any login check. This should be protected in the same way that /dev/build is.
The buildDefaults view is requireDefaultRecords() on each DataObject class, and hence has the potential to modify database state. It also lists all modified tables, allowing attackers more insight into which modules are used, and how the database tables are structured.

Impact

GHSA-X5W2-WCR8-9Q45 has a CVSS score of 6.5 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (3.2.2, 3.3.0, 3.1.17); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Affected versions

silverstripe/framework (>= 3.2.0, <= 3.2.1) silverstripe/framework (>= 3.3.0-beta1, < 3.3.0) silverstripe/framework (<= 3.1.16)

Security releases

silverstripe/framework → 3.2.2 (composer) silverstripe/framework → 3.3.0 (composer) silverstripe/framework → 3.1.17 (composer)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
