AI-suggested

Patched releases are available and should be applied: 4.5.11, 4.6.4, 5.1.7, 5.2.13, and 5.3.6. Upgrading to these versions will remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

CakePHP versions 4.5.11 and earlier, 4.6.0 through 4.6.3, 5.0.0 through 5.1.6, 5.2.0 through 5.2.12, and 5.3.0 through 5.3.5 contain a vulnerability in the View::_getElementFileName() function. This function does not verify that the resolved element path is confined to the application or plugin view template directories. Crafted user input can exploit this to include arbitrary PHP files on the server. Patched versions have been released to address this issue.
