Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 18 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately update the Amazon S3 plugin for Craft CMS to version 2.2.5 or later, where the issue is resolved. Beyond patching, administrators should audit their AWS S3 bucket policies and permissions to ensure that bucket names and contents are not inadvertently exposed through other means. Implement strict access controls and least privilege principles for AWS IAM roles associated with the plugin. Additionally, review and harden CSRF protections and session management to prevent unauthorized acquisition of valid CSRF tokens. Monitoring web server logs for unusual access patterns to the BucketsController endpoints can help detect exploitation attempts. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) to restrict access to sensitive endpoints and consider rate limiting to reduce the risk of automated enumeration. Finally, conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests on Craft CMS deployments to identify and remediate similar information disclosure issues proactively.

Description

The Amazon S3 for Craft CMS plugin provides an Amazon S3 integration for Craft CMS. In versions 2.0.2 through 2.2.4, unauthenticated users can view a list of buckets the plugin has access to. The `BucketsController->actionLoadBucketData()` endpoint allows unauthenticated users with a valid CSRF token to view a list of buckets that the plugin is allowed to see. Users should update to version 2.2.5 of the plugin to mitigate the issue.

Impact

The primary impact of this vulnerability is the unauthorized disclosure of Amazon S3 bucket names associated with the Craft CMS plugin. While the exposure does not directly grant access to the contents of the buckets, knowledge of bucket names can aid attackers in reconnaissance, enabling them to craft more targeted attacks such as phishing, social engineering, or attempts to exploit other misconfigurations in AWS permissions. Organizations relying on Craft CMS with the vulnerable plugin version risk leaking sensitive infrastructure details, which could compromise confidentiality and potentially lead to further breaches if combined with other vulnerabilities. The impact is especially significant for organizations storing sensitive or regulated data in S3 buckets, as attackers could identify critical assets and prioritize them for attack. Additionally, this vulnerability could undermine trust in the affected web applications and lead to compliance issues if sensitive information is indirectly exposed. The lack of required authentication lowers the barrier for exploitation, increasing the risk profile for affected organizations worldwide.

MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
