What is CVE-2025-57758?

The Contao Open Source CMS, in versions from 5.0.0 until 5.3.37 and 5.6.0, contains a vulnerability in the back-end's table access voter. This deficiency allows users to potentially access modules without the necessary permissions. A patch was issued in versions 5.3.38 and 5.6.1 to address this issue. Administrators are advised not to rely solely on the voter for access control but also implement additional checks such as USER_CAN_ACCESS_MODULE to enhance security.
