CVE-2026-72783

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

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.

      "value": "Versiones de Craft CMS mayor o igual que 5.0.0-RC1 anteriores a 5.10.6 y mayor o igual que 4.0.0-RC1 anteriores a 4.18.2 contienen una debilidad teórica de salto de ruta en la función ensurePathIsContained de la clase de sistema de archivos Local. El orden de las operaciones valida la ruta antes de la normalización, por lo que la normalización podría invalidar suposiciones de validación previas (un problema de estilo de desanitización) y potencialmente resolver a archivos fuera del directorio de volumen previsto. El proveedor señala que el problema no es directamente explotable y no se ha descubierto ningún escenario explotable; la corrección se recomienda para el endurecimiento."
