This vulnerability has been fixed in Craft CMS versions 5.9.21 and 4.17.14. Users should upgrade to these versions or later to remediate the issue. No vendor advisory or patch links were provided, so verify the availability of these versions from official Craft CMS sources before upgrading.

Description

Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). Versions 5.0.0-RC1 and above, prior to 5.9.21 and versions 4.0.0-RC1 and above prior to 4.17.14 contain an authorization issue where a forced folder move can delete a conflicting destination folder without destination delete permission. Function craft\\controllers\\AssetsController::actionMoveFolder() supports moving an asset folder into a destination parent folder. If a folder with the same name already exists at the destination, the action can be called with force=true to overwrite the destination. This issue has been resolved in versions 5.9.21 and 4.17.14.
