• CVE-2024-47053: 0.74% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 54.56 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary This advisory addresses an authorization vulnerability in Mautic's HTTP Basic Authentication implementation. This flaw could allow unauthorized access to sensitive report data. Improper Authorization: An authorization flaw exists in Mautic's API Authorization implementation. Any authenticated user, regardless of assigned roles or permissions, can access all reports and their associated data via the API. This bypasses the intended access controls governed by the "Reporting Permissions View Own" and "Reporting Permissions View Others" permissions, which should restrict access to non-System Reports. Mitigation Please update to Mautic 5.2.3 or later Workarounds Disable the API in Mautic. See documentation.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-47053

Advisory: Mautic allows Improper Authorization in Reporting API
IDs: CVE-2024-47053, GHSA-8xv7-g2q3-fqgc
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-47053 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:34 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.7)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: mautic/core 5.2.3. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist mautic/core: affected >= 1.0.1, < 5.2.3; fixed in 5.2.3

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist mautic/core: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on mautic/core.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8xv7-g2q3-fqgc (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-8xv7-g2q3-fqgc lists affected ranges: Packagist mautic/core >=1.0.1 <5.2.3)
