Summary
Statamic is missing authorization check on taxonomy term creation via fieldtype
Details

Impact

Low-privileged Control Panel users could create taxonomy terms by submitting requests to the field action processing endpoint with attacker-controlled field definitions. This bypasses the authorization checks enforced on the standard taxonomy term creation endpoint.

Patches

This has been fixed in 5.73.14 and 6.7.0.

Severity ?
4.3 (Medium)
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
