CVE-2026-123488
CriticalCVSS 9.8Summary
Craft CMS 4.0.0 before 4.18.9 and 5.0.0 before 5.11.2 contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the element search endpoint because the attribute parameter is concatenated into the query unsanitized and emulated PDO prepares allow stacked statements. Remote attackers can read and write the database, setting the admin flag or overwriting password hashes in the users table to gain administrator access.
Risk Assessment
The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to gain full database access and take over an administrator account, potentially leading to complete compromise of the CMS site. This carries risks of data leakage, content tampering, and further escalation within the environment.
Recommendation
Immediately update Craft CMS to version 4.18.9 or 5.11.2 (or later). Until patched, restrict access to the search endpoint and monitor for suspicious database queries.
Other vulnerabilities in Craft CMS
See all- CVE-2026-123491High
Craft CMS 4.0.0 before 4.18.9 and 5.0.0 before 5.11.2 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in GraphQL eager-loading: arguments on eager-loadable nodes absent from the public schema are copied into EagerLoadPlan criteria without cleansing. Unauthenticated attackers can inject SQL expressions and read arbitrary database content, including password hashes and session tokens.
- CVE-2026-123490High
Craft CMS from 5.8.17 before 5.11.2 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability because getOwners() applies caller criteria without cleansing the query configuration. Authenticated control panel users can invoke attacker-selected static PHP callables via crafted criteria to promote every account to administrator.
- CVE-2026-123489High
Craft CMS 4.0.0 before 4.18.9 and 5.0.0 before 5.11.2 contains a blind SQL injection vulnerability because the sandbox-exposed getNext() and getPrev() methods pass arbitrary criteria arrays to Craft::configure() without removing SQL-bearing properties such as orderBy and where. Authenticated control panel users can supply a crafted elementIds value, rendered as a sandboxed template, to obtain a conditional SQL oracle under the Craft database account.
- CVE-2026-84802Medium
Craft CMS versions from 5.7.0 before 5.10.12 contain an information disclosure vulnerability in AssetsController::actionMoveInfo that fails to enforce volume permissions. Authenticated control panel users can submit POST requests to the assets/move-info endpoint with arbitrary folderIds to retrieve asset count and total storage size for volumes they cannot access.
- CVE-2026-84801High
Craft CMS versions before 5.10.11 fail to validate admin status in the actionGetPasswordResetUrl endpoint, allowing non-admin users with administrateUsers permission to mint password reset URLs for administrator accounts. Attackers can generate a valid reset URL and set a new password, enabling complete control-panel takeover.
- CVE-2026-84800High
Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 and < 5.10.11 contain a missing authorization vulnerability in AssetsController::actionReplaceFile. When a request supplies sourceAssetId and targetFilename but omits assetId, the replacePeerFiles permission is never enforced, allowing an authenticated low-privilege author with replaceFiles permission to overwrite peer asset files.
- CVE-2026-84798High
Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 and < 5.10.11 fail to perform an independent authorization check in ElementsController::actionDeleteForSite(). The method checks permissions only against the user's own provisional draft, then deletes the canonical element without re-checking, allowing an authenticated user without deleteEntriesForSite permission to hard-delete entries.
- CVE-2026-84797Medium
Craft CMS versions before 5.10.11 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in ElementsController::actionDuplicate() that allows authenticated users with createEntries permission to delete peer provisional drafts. Attackers can exploit the deleteProvisionalDraft parameter to delete another user's unsaved draft without proper authorization checks, gaining access to the victim's in-progress content.
- CVE-2026-84796High
Craft CMS versions before 5.10.11 contain a site scope bypass vulnerability in GraphQL entry mutation resolvers that fail to validate siteId through ArgumentManager::prepareArguments(). Attackers with tokens scoped to one site can read, modify, or delete entries across unauthorized sites.
- CVE-2026-84793Medium
Craft CMS versions from 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.11 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the site name field that fails to sanitize input. Administrators can inject arbitrary JavaScript payloads in the site name that execute when other users view the control panel settings pages.
