Description
Summary
An authenticated control panel user with only accessCp can move entries across sections via POST `/actions/entries/move-to-section`, even when they do not have `saveEntries:{sectionUid}` permission for either source or destination section.
Details
Root-cause analysis
1. actionMoveToSection accepts sectionId and entryIds, loads entries, and iterates:
`Craft::$app->getEntries()->moveEntryToSection($entry, $section)`.
2. The endpoint does not enforce per-entry or per-section authorization checks.
3. `moveEntryToSection()` also does not enforce current-user authorization.
4. There is a permission check in `actionMoveToSectionModalData` for building UI options, but that check is not enforced in the actual endpoint.
5. Therefore, a direct POST request can bypass UI filtering and perform unauthorized entry moves.
### Impact
• This is an authorization bypass permitting unauthorized content changes.
• Authenticated low-privileged control panel users can move entries they should not be able to manage, violating integrity and potentially disrupting routing/editorial controls.
