{"id":"CVE-2026-27128","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"Craft CMS's race condition in Token Service potentially allows for token usage greater than the token limit","description":"Craft is a content management system (CMS). In versions 4.5.0-RC1 through 4.16.18 and 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.8.22, a Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition exists in Craft CMS’s token validation service for tokens that explicitly set a limited usage. The `getTokenRoute()` method reads a token’s usage count, checks if it’s within limits, then updates the database in separate non-atomic operations. By sending concurrent requests, an attacker can use a single-use impersonation token multiple times before the database update completes. To make this work, an attacker needs to obtain a valid user account impersonation URL with a non-expired token via some other means and exploit a race condition while bypassing any rate-limiting rules in place. For this to be a privilege escalation, the impersonation URL must include a token for a user account with more permissions than the current user. Versions 4.16.19 and 5.8.23 patch the issue.","publishedAt":"2026-02-24T02:42:53.706Z","updatedAt":"2026-02-28T02:13:48.422Z","severity":{"score":6.9,"label":"Medium","version":"4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N","source":"GitHub_M"},"assigner":"GitHub_M","products":["craftcms cms"],"affected":[{"vendor":"craftcms","product":"cms","versions":[{"version":">= 4.5.0-RC1, < 4.16.19","status":"affected"},{"version":">= 5.0.0-RC1, < 5.8.23","status":"affected"}]}],"references":["https://github.com/craftcms/cms/security/advisories/GHSA-6fx5-5cw5-4897","https://github.com/craftcms/cms/commit/3e4afe18279951c024c64896aa2b93cda6d95fdf"],"weaknesses":["CWE-367"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:11:31.369Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/27xxx/CVE-2026-27128.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-27128","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-02-24T02:42:53.706Z","dateUpdated":"2026-02-28T02:13:48.422Z","assignerShortName":"GitHub_M","assignerOrgId":"a0819718-46f1-4df5-94e2-005712e83aaa","dateReserved":"2026-02-17T18:42:27.043Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"Craft CMS's race condition in Token Service potentially allows for token usage greater than the token limit","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"Craft is a content management system (CMS).
