Summary
Concrete CMS is vulnerable to IDOR in AddMessage/UpdateMessage
Details

Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below is vulnerable to IDOR in AddMessage/UpdateMessage via attachments[] parameter which can lead to file permission bypass. The AddMessage and UpdateMessage conversation controllers accept user-supplied file attachment IDs and load files directly via $em->find(File::class, $attachmentID) without checking per-file permissions (canViewFile()). A user who can post in any conversation can reference any file in the CMS file manager by its sequential ID, effectively bypassing the file permission system. If a site truly has private files, the owner should set up a private storage location https://documentation.concretecms.org/user-guide/editors-reference/dashboard/system-and-maintenance/files/file-storage-locations outside of the webroot so that permissions can be checked on view as well. That way, even if an authorized user attaches a file, or otherwise links to it, unauthorized users won't be able to view the file.
