Craftcms: >> Craft Cms Security Vulnerabilities
Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). From version 4.0.0-RC1 to before version 4.17.6 and from version 5.0.0-RC1 to before version 5.9.12, a low-privilege user (or an unauthenticated user who has been sent a shared URL) can escalate their privileges to admin by abusing UsersController->actionImpersonateWithToken. This issue has been patched in versions 4.17.6 and 5.9.12.

Craft is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 5.9.9 and 4.17.4, a Remote Code Execution vulnerability exists in the Craft CMS 5 conditions system. The BaseElementSelectConditionRule::getElementIds() method passes user-controlled string input through renderObjectTemplate() -- an unsandboxed Twig rendering function with escaping disabled. Any authenticated Control Panel user (including non-admin roles such as Author or Editor) can achieve full RCE by sending a crafted condition rule via standard element listing endpoints. This vulnerability requires no admin privileges, no special permissions beyond basic control panel access, and bypasses all production hardening settings (allowAdminChanges: false, devMode: false, enableTwigSandbox: true). Users should update to the patched 5.9.9 or 4.17.4 release to mitigate the issue.

Craft is a content management system (CMS). The ElementSearchController::actionSearch() endpoint is missing the unset() protection that was added to ElementIndexesController in CVE-2026-25495. The exact same SQL injection vulnerability (including criteria[orderBy], the original advisory vector) works on this controller because the fix was never applied to it. Any authenticated control panel user (no admin required) can inject arbitrary SQL via criteria[where], criteria[orderBy], or other query properties, and extract the full database contents via boolean-based blind injection. Users should update to the patched 5.9.9 release to mitigate the issue.

Craft is a content management system (CMS). The fix for CVE-2025-35939 in craftcms/cms introduced a strip_tags() call in src/web/User.php to sanitize return URLs before they are stored in the session. However, strip_tags() only removes HTML tags (angle brackets) -- it does not inspect or filter URL schemes. Payloads like javascript:alert(document.cookie) contain no HTML tags and pass through strip_tags() completely unmodified, enabling reflected XSS when the return URL is rendered in an href attribute. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.9.7 and 4.17.3.

Craft is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 4.17.4 and 5.9.7, Craft CMS has a CSRF issue in the preview token endpoint at /actions/preview/create-token. The endpoint accepts an attacker-supplied previewToken. Because the action does not require POST and does not enforce a CSRF token, an attacker can force a logged-in victim editor to mint a preview token chosen by the attacker. That token can then be used by the attacker (without authentication) to access previewed/unpublished content tied to the victim’s authorized preview scope. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.17.4 and 5.9.7.

Craft is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 5.9.0-beta.2 and 4.17.0-beta.2, the actionSendActivationEmail() endpoint is accessible to unauthenticated users and does not require a permission check for pending users. An attacker with no prior access can trigger activation emails for any pending user account by knowing or guessing the user ID. If the attacker controls the target user’s email address, they can activate the account and gain access to the system. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.9.0-beta.2 and 4.17.0-beta.2.

Craft is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 4.17.0-beta.1 and 5.9.0-beta.1, the GraphQL directive @parseRefs, intended to parse internal reference tags (e.g., {user:1:email}), can be abused by both authenticated users and unauthenticated guests (if a Public Schema is enabled) to access sensitive attributes of any element in the CMS. The implementation in Elements::parseRefs fails to perform authorization checks, allowing attackers to read data they are not authorized to view. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.17.0-beta.1 and 5.9.0-beta.1.

Craft is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 4.17.0-beta.1 and 5.9.0-beta.1, an authenticated administrator can achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) by injecting a Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) payload into Twig template fields (e.g., Email Templates). By calling the craft.app.fs.write() method, an attacker can write a malicious PHP script to a web-accessible directory and subsequently access it via the browser to execute arbitrary system commands. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.17.0-beta.1 and 5.9.0-beta.1.

Craft is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 4.17.0-beta.1 and 5.9.0-beta.1, the entry creation process allows for Mass Assignment of the authorId attribute. A user with "Create Entries" permission can inject the authorIds[] (or authorId) parameter into the POST request, which the backend processes without verifying if the current user is authorized to assign authorship to others. Normally, this field is not present in the request for users without the necessary permissions. By manually adding this parameter, an attacker can attribute the new entry to any user, including Admins. This effectively "spoofs" the authorship. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.17.0-beta.1 and 5.9.0-beta.1.

Craft is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 5.9.0-beta.1 and 4.17.0-beta.1, the "Duplicate" entry action does not properly verify if the user has permission to perform this action on the specific target elements. Even with only "View Entries" permission (where the "Duplicate" action is restricted in the UI), a user can bypass this restriction by sending a direct request. Furthermore, this vulnerability allows duplicating other users' entries by specifying their Entry IDs. Since Entry IDs are incremental, an attacker can trivially brute-force these IDs to duplicate and access restricted content across the system. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.9.0-beta.1 and 4.17.0-beta.1.
