CVE-2026-32267: Craft CMS Vulnerable to Privilege Escalation/Bypass through UsersController->actionImpersonateWithToken()

March 16, 2026 (updated March 17, 2026)

A low-privilege user (or an unauthenticated user who has been sent a shared URL) can escalate their privileges to admin by abusing UsersController->actionImpersonateWithToken.

Affected users should update to Craft 4.17.6 and 5.9.12 to mitigate the issue.
