CVE-2026-44692: CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in code16 sharp
Sharp is a content management framework built for Laravel as a package. Prior to version 9.22.0, Sharp exposes a generic download endpoint that authorizes access only to the supplied Sharp entity instance, but then reads the target storage disk and path from request parameters. Because the requested storage object is not bound to the authorized entity instance, an authenticated Sharp user who can view one valid record may use that record as an authorization anchor to download unrelated disk-relative objects from configured Laravel Storage disks. The confirmed impact is authenticated disclosure of unrelated objects from configured Laravel Storage disks. This issue does not imply arbitrary host filesystem access outside configured Laravel Storage disk roots. This issue has been patched in version 9.22.0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-44692 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in the Sharp content management framework for Laravel. Before version 9.22.0, Sharp's generic download endpoint authorizes access only to the requested entity instance but reads the storage disk and path from user-supplied request parameters without verifying that the requested file belongs to the authorized entity. This allows an authenticated user who can view one valid record to use that record as an authorization anchor to download unrelated files from any configured Laravel Storage disk. The vulnerability does not permit access outside the configured storage disk roots. The issue has been fixed in Sharp version 9.22.0.
Potential Impact
An authenticated user with permission to view at least one valid Sharp entity can bypass authorization controls to download unrelated files from any configured Laravel Storage disk. This leads to unauthorized disclosure of potentially sensitive files stored on these disks. The vulnerability does not allow arbitrary filesystem access outside the configured storage disks, limiting the scope of exposure to files within those disks.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Sharp to version 9.22.0 or later, where this authorization bypass vulnerability has been patched. No other mitigation is indicated or required as the fix is available in the official release.
