Contao is an Open Source CMS. From version 4.0.0 until 5.3.50 and 5.7.12, ModuleSearch can disclose protected page titles, URLs, and indexed context snippets to unauthenticated visitors when contao.search.index_protected is changed from enabled to disabled. Authorization metadata is stored per row in tl_search, but disabling the setting removes the protected-row filter without deleting rows indexed while protection was enabled. The protected pages continue to return an authorization response, so this issue exposes search metadata and indexed text rather than bypassing page access. This issue is fixed in versions 5.3.50 and 5.7.12.

EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.3 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

Exploitation none (no KEV listing, exploit record or EPSS ≥ 50%) · Automatable unknown (not published for this CVE) · Technical impact partial (CVSS below 9.0). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
