Description
CVE-2026-126662 is an access control bypass vulnerability in Contao versions 4.0.0 before 5.3.54, 5.4.0 before 5.7.17, and 6.0.0 before 6.0.6. It allows filemount-restricted backend users with certain permissions to modify folders outside their authorized filemount via the file manager's Edit-Multiple operation. This can lead to publishing protected folders or excluding them from synchronization, potentially exposing files for public download.
