Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-390: Detection of Error Condition Without Action, where the product detects a specific error, but takes no actions to handle the error. In Drupal/core, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Under certain uncommon site configurations, a bug in the CKEditor 5 module can cause some image uploads to move the entire webroot to a different location on the file system. This could be exploited by a malicious user to take down a site. The issue is mitigated by the fact that several non-default site configurations must exist simultaneously for this to occur.
