Craft CMS' anonymous "assets/image-editor" calls return private asset editor metadata to unauthorized users
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Packagist | craftcms/cms | >= 5.0.0-RC1, < 5.9.14 | 5.9.14 |

Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
A low-privileged authenticated user can call `assets/image-editor` with the ID of a private asset they cannot view and still receive editor response data, including `focalPoint`.
The endpoint returns private editing metadata without per-asset authorization validation.
Root-cause analysis:
1. `actionImageEditor()` accepts `assetId` from the request body.
2. The asset is loaded, and the focal-point data is read.
3. Response returns `html` and `focalPoint`.
4. No explicit authorization check is applied before the response.
### Impact
## Affected deployments:
* Craft sites where asset edit metadata should remain restricted to authorized users.
## Security consequence:
* Unauthorized users can extract private editor metadata and related editor context for inaccessible assets.
