Craft CMS: Authenticated "assets/preview-thumb" discloses signed fallback transform preview link to CP users without asset-view permission
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Packagist | craftcms/cms | >= 4.0.0-RC1, < 4.17.8 | 4.17.8 |

Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
A user with Control Panel access but without permission to view a target private asset can call `assets/preview-thumb` and receive preview HTML that contains a signed fallback transform link for that private asset.
### Details
Root-cause analysis:
1. The endpoint accepts an attacker-controlled `assetId`.
2. Asset is resolved, and thumbnail HTML is returned.
3. No explicit asset-view permission check is performed before preview generation.
### Impact
Type:
1. Missing authorization
2. Unauthorized preview-link disclosure
Affected deployments:
1. Craft sites with control panel users who have partial permissions and private assets.
Security consequence:
1. A control panel user without asset-view permission can still obtain signed preview transform link data for private assets.
2. This may increase private asset exposure risk depending on deployment and endpoint chaining.
