      "value": "Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). IN versions 5.0.0-RC1 and above prior to 5.9.21, theEntriesController::actionSaveEntry() performs entry-edit permission checks before request-controlled author changes are applied to the model, allowing for authorship spoofing. The subsequent author mutation path accepts attacker-supplied authors / author parameters and allows the change when the current user is one of the old authors. Because the controller does not re-run authorization after mutating the author list, a low-privileged user can reassign an entry’s authorship to another user without holding the dedicated peer-author-change permission. This issue has been fixed in version 5.9.21."

      "value": "Craft CMS es un sistema de gestión de contenido (CMS). En las versiones 5.0.0-RC1 y superiores anteriores a la 5.9.21, el método theEntriesController::actionSaveEntry() realiza comprobaciones de permisos de edición de entradas antes de que los cambios de autor controlados por la solicitud se apliquen al modelo, lo que permite la suplantación de autoría. La ruta de mutación de autor subsiguiente acepta autores / parámetros de autor proporcionados por el atacante y permite el cambio cuando el usuario actual es uno de los autores antiguos. Debido a que el controlador no vuelve a ejecutar la autorización después de mutar la lista de autores, un usuario con pocos privilegios puede reasignar la autoría de una entrada a otro usuario sin poseer el permiso dedicado de cambio de autor par. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 5.9.21."
