CIVI-SA-2021-09: CKEditor (Multiple Advisories)

Published

CiviCRM includes a rich text editing component, CKEditor, which recently released a security update (v4.16.2). This update addresses 3 security issues.

We expect that these vulnerabilities cannot be meaningfully exploited by automated bots or crawlers - but they may be exploitable with modest social-engineering. Thus, we advise upgrading (or using one of the alternative solutions below).

CIVI-SA-2021-08 Access Bypass in APIv4

Some permissions were not being checked adequately before returning results from the CiviCRM APIv4. This did not affect everyday use of CiviCRM, but an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass security checks and read private data from the database. To date there are no known sites that have been compromised due to this bug. APIv3 was not affected.

CiviCRM Community, Take Pause and Consider this Letter

As you may be aware, CiviCRM was recently given an award for its incredible social impact by the Free Software Foundation. I think we can all agree that CiviCRM is amazing software! Likewise, I believe that we all recognize that our diversity in perspectives, nationalities, genders, text editors, etc. is vital to the health of both the software and the project.

I’m writing this blog post because now may be one of those times where, as a member of our diverse community, you may wish to express your individual views.
