# CVE-2026-18110: Concrete CMS 9.0.0 through 9.5.2 is vulnerable to missing authorization in the user selector autocomplete endpoint (/ccm/system/user/autocomplete), allowing an unauthenticated attacker to retrieve the complete backend user directory — internal ID, username

## Affected

- Concrete CMS: from 9.0.0, through 9.5.2

## Description

Concrete CMS 9 (9.0.0 through 9.5.2) does not perform an authorization check on the user selector autocomplete endpoint (/ccm/system/user/autocomplete), which backs the "Preview as User" panel and other user-selector components. The endpoint validates only a CSRF-style access token that is bound to the selector's display options rather than to the caller's identity or permissions, and that token is issued to anonymous visitors because the selector renders without an authorization check. Because an empty query resolves to a match-all filter, an unauthenticated attacker can submit an empty search and paginate the results to enumerate every backend account, disclosing the internal user ID, username, and email address of all administrative users, including the super-administrator (user ID 1). No password hashes or session material are disclosed The Concrete CMS security team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4.0 score of 8.7 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N. Thanks thirtythree and YesWeHack for reporting.
