SilverStripe 2.3.x before 2.3.12 and 2.4.x before 2.4.6 allows remote authenticated users with the EDIT_PERMISSIONS permission to gain administrator privileges via a TreeMultiselectField that includes admin groups when adding a user to the selected groups.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old SilverStripe CMS permission flaw. A logged-in user who already has permission-management rights could add themselves to administrator groups through the user interface and become an administrator. The risk is mainly to organizations still running SilverStripe 2.3.x or 2.4.x-era systems. Exposure is limited to legacy SilverStripe 2.3.x and 2.4.x deployments where non-admin users hold EDIT_PERMISSIONS. Internet exposure matters less than whether such authenticated CMS accounts exist. Prioritize if legacy SilverStripe is still used for business websites or intranets. The issue can turn a limited privileged account into full administration. If no affected legacy versions remain, this is primarily an archival risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade SilverStripe 2.3.x systems to 2.3.12 or later.; Upgrade SilverStripe 2.4.x systems to 2.4.6 or later.; Review vendor changelogs and the referenced commit before changing legacy systems..
