DescriptionCVE.org

Craft CMS versions >= 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.10.6 and >= 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.18.2 interpolate environment variables and secrets (via ${ENV_VAR} strings in the elementId parameter) into Twig templates before rendering, even when the Twig sandbox is enabled. An authenticated attacker with control panel access can render a malicious sandboxed Twig template and, using a blind error-based technique across many requests, incrementally leak arbitrary environment variables and secrets. These can be abused to forge sessions (via CRAFT_SECURITY_KEY), escalate privileges, and steal database, SMTP, API, or blob storage credentials. Fixed in 5.10.6 and 4.18.2.

AnalysisAI

Craft CMS exposes arbitrary environment variables and secrets to authenticated control panel users due to premature interpolation of ${ENV_VAR} patterns in the elementId parameter before Twig sandbox evaluation - a design flaw that bypasses the sandbox entirely because substitution occurs outside the renderer. Affected versions span both the 4.x and 5.x release lines from their respective RC1 milestones through just before 4.18.2 and 5.10.6. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated session with access to the Craft CMS control panel (corresponding to PR:L in the CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N) appropriately reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only a low-privilege control panel session, with high confidentiality impact through full secret exfiltration. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a low-privileged Craft CMS control panel account - such as a content editor or a compromised contractor credential - submits a series of crafted HTTP requests embedding ${CRAFT_SECURITY_KEY} and other environment variable references in the elementId parameter. Using a blind error-based extraction loop across many requests (analogous to blind SQL injection), the attacker incrementally recovers the full secret values without any direct reflection in the response body, then uses the recovered CRAFT_SECURITY_KEY to forge a valid admin session cookie offline and achieves full administrative control. …
Remediation Upgrade to Craft CMS 5.10.6 (for 5.x deployments) or 4.18.2 (for 4.x deployments), the vendor-confirmed fixed versions per GitHub advisory GHSA-596p-6jv8-775v at https://github.com/craftcms/cms/security/advisories/GHSA-596p-6jv8-775v. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Craft CMS instances and confirm whether they run vulnerable versions (4.x prior to 4.18.2 or 5.x prior to 5.10.6); restrict control panel access to essential personnel only and enforce multi-factor authentication on all control panel accounts. …
