Winter CMS is a content management system built on the Laravel PHP framework. From 1.2.13 until 1.2.14, the Backend\Controllers\MyAccount controller inherits the FormController actions create, update, and preview while declaring an empty $requiredPermissions array, and formFindModelObject() resolves a caller-supplied record identifier through an unscoped Backend\Models\User query. Any authenticated backend user can request another sequential user identifier through /backend/backend/myaccount/preview/{other_user_id} or the inherited update action and read profile data including name, login, email, avatar, role, group membership, superuser status, and throttle state. Password material is not exposed, and existing model authorization guards block cross-user writes. This issue is fixed in version 1.2.14.

### Impact

`Backend\Controllers\MyAccount`, introduced in v1.2.13, declares an empty `$requiredPermissions` array so that any authenticated backend user can manage their own account. It implements the `FormController` behavior, which exposes three routable actions — `create`, `update` and `preview` — that each take a record id from the URL.

`index()` passes the authenticated user's own id to the behavior, but the inherited actions were left routable and `formFindModelObject()` was not scoped, so a caller-supplied id resolved against an unscoped `Backend\Models\User` query:

``` GET /backend/backend/myaccount/preview/{other_user_id} ```

`preview` disclosed the target user's first name, last name, login, email address and avatar; `update` was equally routable and additionally disclosed role, group membership, superuser flag and throttle state. Password controls render a mask, so no credential material was exposed. Backend user ids are sequential and trivially enumerated, and as these are `GET` actions no CSRF token is involved.

The behavior's AJAX handlers (`create_onSave`, `update_onSave`, `update_onDelete`) were also dispatchable on these routes, but cross-user writes were blocked by the `Backend\Models\User` authorization guards added in v1.2.13. The confirmed impact is unauthorized disclosure of backend user profile data.

To actively exploit this security issue, an attacker would need access to the Backend with a user account with any level of access.
