Craft CMS versions before 5.10.11 lack authorization checks in the assets/move-asset endpoint when force=1 is supplied. Authenticated users without peer asset permissions can move their own assets into other users' folders and force deletion of conflicting files, allowing unauthorized asset deletion and replacement.
Craft CMS versions from 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.11 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the site name field that fails to sanitize input. Administrators can inject arbitrary JavaScript payloads in the site name that execute when other users view the control panel settings pages.
Craft CMS versions before 5.10.11 contain a broken access control vulnerability in the element-indexes/save-elements endpoint that allows control panel users to move entries into sections they cannot edit. Attackers with limited section permissions can relocate or publish entries to unauthorized sections by overwriting the sectionId attribute after initial authorization checks, bypassing the destination section permission validation.
CVE-2026-79988 is a high-severity vulnerability in Craft CMS where the Twig sandbox mechanism is improperly configured, allowing dangerous Yii framework functionality. This misconfiguration enables authenticated remote code execution (RCE) similar to previously known issues. The affected versions include 4.0.0-RC1 and 5.0.0-RC1. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Craft CMS versions from 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.18.2 and from 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.6 contain an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the control panel element-search condition handling. The vulnerability arises due to a JSON cleanse bypass in condition.config, allowing Yii behavior/event configuration keys to be interpreted after decoding, which enables command execution as the PHP/web user.
Craft CMS versions before 5.10.8 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the control panel where draft names are rendered without HTML encoding in element chips and cards. A low-privilege user who can create element drafts can inject malicious JavaScript that executes in the browser of any higher-privileged user viewing the affected element, allowing account creation and other authenticated actions.
Craft CMS versions before 5.10.8 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the elements/save action that allows authenticated users to change passwords without verification. Attackers with edit users permission can reset any user's password including administrators by exploiting the unprotected newPassword field in the User element save flow.
Craft CMS 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.10.5 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability. A control-panel user holding only the viewCategories permission (without saveCategories) for a category group can permanently modify that group's category structure — reordering and re-parenting categories — via the structures/move-element action. The structureEditable flag is computed from the view permission rather than the save permission, and the StructuresController authorizes the mutating action on that read-time session grant without a save re-check. Because a category's URI is derived from its position in the structure, moving a category changes its URL and those of its descendants and can corrupt navigation menus built from the category taxonomy. The issue is fixed in 5.10.6.
Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.6 and >= 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.18.2 contain a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the GraphQL save<Volume>Asset mutation, which fetches an attacker-supplied URL server-side. The anti-SSRF validation is incomplete: validateIp() does not cover CGNAT (100.64.0.0/10) or NAT64 (64:ff9b::/96) ranges, and the only IP check runs after the request has already been issued. An attacker holding a GraphQL token scoped only to asset-creation permissions can disclose internal HTTP content from CGNAT/NAT64 targets, force outbound GET requests to internal hosts (including RFC1918, loopback, and metadata endpoints), and enumerate internal services.
Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.6 and >= 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.18.2 contain a theoretical path traversal weakness in the ensurePathIsContained function of the Local file system class. The order of operations validates the path before normalization, so normalization could invalidate prior validation assumptions (a desanitization-style issue) and potentially resolve to files outside the intended volume directory. The vendor notes the issue is not directly exploitable and no exploitable scenario has been discovered; the fix is recommended for hardening.
Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.6 and >= 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.18.2 interpolate environment variables and secrets (via ${ENV_VAR} strings in the elementId parameter) into Twig templates before rendering, even when the Twig sandbox is enabled. An authenticated attacker with control panel access can render a malicious sandboxed Twig template and, using a blind error-based technique across many requests, incrementally leak arbitrary environment variables and secrets. These can be abused to forge sessions (via CRAFT_SECURITY_KEY), escalate privileges, and steal database, SMTP, API, or blob storage credentials. Fixed in 5.10.6 and 4.18.2.
Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.7 and >= 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.18.3 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in the Twig sandbox mechanism. Because Craft marks the ElementInterface as safe (via the AllowedInSandbox attribute) and the sandbox allowlisting extends to the entire class hierarchy (craft\base\Component up to yii\base\Component), an authenticated attacker with permission to access the control panel can render a malicious Twig template that abuses the yii\base\Component arbitrary function-call gadget to execute arbitrary code, even when the Twig sandbox is enabled via enableTwigSandbox().
Craft CMS before 5.10.5 fails to persist updated credential counters after WebAuthn assertion validation in the passkey login endpoint. Attackers can replay captured login request bodies containing requestOptions and response to create additional authenticated sessions for victim accounts.
Craft CMS 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.6 and 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.18.2 contain an arbitrary file read vulnerability. The create() Twig function restricts class instantiation using a 5-entry blocklist that does not include SplFileObject, allowing an authenticated administrator (with allowAdminChanges=true) to configure a malicious entry type title or URI format that instantiates SplFileObject in a non-sandboxed template context. When a user subsequently creates an entry in the affected section, arbitrary files on the server (such as .env containing the security key and database credentials) are read and rendered as entry titles.
Craft CMS versions from 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.18.2 and from 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.6 contain an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the control panel element-search condition handling. Craft cleanses the outer request-controlled condition array via Component::cleanseConfig(), but Conditions::createCondition() later decodes and merges the JSON string in condition.config without re-running cleanseConfig() on the decoded configuration. Because condition.config is a JSON string during the first cleanse, Yii special config keys such as 'as ...' and 'on ...' can be hidden inside it and, after JSON decoding, are interpreted by Yii as behavior/event configuration during FieldLayout object creation. An attacker with an authenticated control panel session (and a valid CSRF token) can exploit this to execute operating system commands as the PHP/web user.
The `reorder-sets` action in Craft CMS’s `GlobalsController` is missing the `requireAdmin()` check that the adjacent `save-set` and `delete-set` actions both enforce. Any authenticated control panel user can POST to `/actions/globals/reorder-sets` and permanently reorder all global sets in the project config, regardless of whether they have admin access. The reordering is written through to the project config and persists across requests.
## Description
`GlobalsController` exposes three administrative actions for managing global set structure. Two of them gate on admin status; the third does not.
## Prerequisites
- A Craft CMS instance with at least two global sets and a non-admin control panel user account.
## Impact
A non-admin control panel user can reorder all global sets. While this does not expose or modify content, reordering global sets modifies the project config -- a versioned artifact that is typically committed to source control and deployed across environments. An attacker can create noise in the project config history, trigger config-sync conflicts, or manipulate the display order seen by all editors in the admin panel. The same non-admin user cannot create or delete global sets because those actions correctly enforce `requireAdmin()`.
A flaw has been found in Craft CMS up to 4.18.0.1. Affected by this vulnerability is the function actionGetNewUsersData of the file src/controllers/ChartsController.php of the component Charts Endpoint. This manipulation of the argument userGroupId causes improper authorization. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. Upgrading to version 4.18.1 addresses this issue. Patch name: 9ee53efc1314e6aba32771c66a13e072a246f4ce. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component.
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.
Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). Versions 5.7.0 and above, prior to 5.9.21 contain a mass-assignment flaw in the bulk-duplicate element action. An attacker who is only able to duplicate their own entires can submit an arbitrary id through the newAttributes request parameter. The duplication routine overrides its own id = null reset with that value and writes the attacker's attributes into the victim's existing entry row. ElementsController::beforeAction() pulls the request body into $this->_attributes and rejects requests that ship an id or canonicalId key at the top level, actionBulkDuplicate(), reads a separate newAttributes array and passes it straight through to the service layer. Elements::duplicateElement() clones the source element, sets id to null, and then hands the attacker's array to Craft::configure(), which overwrites the reset id with any numeric value inside $newAttributes. PHP Yii's saveElement() then performs an UPDATE against the row with that primary key instead of an INSERT. The attackers's title, slug, authorId, postDate, and UID land on the victim's entry. safeAttributes() on Entry includes id because the base element model exposes it, so the Collection::only() filter does not strip it. This issue has been fixed in version 5.9.21.
Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). In versions 5.0.0-RC1 and above prior to 5.9.21, the EntriesController::actionMoveToSection() endpoint gates the destination section only by viewEntries:$section->uid rather than requiring saveEntries permission (the source entry is separately checked via Entry::canMove()). As a result, a low-privileged authenticated control-panel user who can move an entry out of its current section can call moveEntryToSection() to rewrite the entry's sectionId and save it into a section where they have read access but no write access. This breaks the section-level authorization model, letting a user with limited permissions inject content into a protected section and interfere with editorial boundaries, approval workflows, and section-specific business logic. This issue has been fixed in version 5.9.21.
