CVE-2026-41128: Craft CMS has a Missing Authorization Check on User Group Removal via save-permissions Action

April 14, 2026 (updated April 24, 2026)

The actionSavePermissions() endpoint allows a user with only viewUsers permission to remove arbitrary users from all user groups. While _saveUserGroups() enforces per-group authorization for additions, it performs no equivalent authorization check for removals, so submitting an empty groups value removes all existing group memberships.
