CVE-2026-32262
EPSS 0.04%Craft CMS has a Path Traversal Vulnerability in AssetsController
Published: 3/16/2026Modified: 3/16/2026
Also known as:GHSA-472v-j2g4-g9h2
Description
The `AssetsController->replaceFile()` method has a `targetFilename` body parameter that is used unsanitized in a `deleteFile()` call before `Assets::prepareAssetName()` is applied on save. This allows an authenticated user with `replaceFiles` permission to delete arbitrary files within the same filesystem root by injecting `../` path traversal sequences into the filename. This could allow an authenticated user with `replaceFiles` permission on one volume to delete files in other folders/volumes that share the same filesystem root. This only affects local filesystems. Users should update to Craft 4.17.5 or 5.9.11 to mitigate the issue.
