CVE-2026-33158

Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS).

Published Mar 24, 2026 · corrected/updated Jun 17, 2026 · craftcms craft cms · evidence confidence medium

Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). From version 4.0.0-RC1 to before version 4.17.8 and from version 5.0.0-RC1 to before version 5.9.14, a low-privileged authenticated user can read private asset content by calling assets/edit-image with an arbitrary assetId that they are not authorized to view. The endpoint returns image bytes (or a preview redirect) without enforcing a per-asset view authorization check, leading to potential unauthorized disclosure of private files. This issue has been patched in versions 4.17.8 and 5.9.14.
