Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In Statamic/cms, 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

Assets uploaded with appropriately crafted filenames may result in them being placed in a location different than what was configured. ### Impact - Affects front-end forms with `assets` fields. - Affects other places where assets can be uploaded, although users would need upload permissions anyway. - Files can be uploaded so they would be located on the server in a different location, and potentially override existing files. - Traversal _outside_ an asset container was not possible. ### Patches This has been fixed in 5.17.0.
