MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with any low-privilege Craft CMS account (PR:L) - no administrator or elevated role is needed. The attacker must supply the force=1 parameter in the move-asset request and know or enumerate a valid target folder ID. No non-default configuration is required; the flaw exists in the default asset-management controller. Exploitation is limited to the integrity and availability of assets (files) within the CMS - no server-side code execution or credential disclosure is implied. Attackers without any authenticated account cannot exploit this remotely. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) reflects a low-barrier, network-exploitable flaw requiring only a valid authenticated session with no special configuration prerequisites, yielding a 7.1 score weighted toward high integrity impact (VI:H) with low availability impact (VA:L) and no confidentiality exposure (VC:N). EPSS data is not included in this record, and the CVE has not been added to the CISA KEV catalog, so no confirmed active exploitation signal exists. The lack of public POC keeps real-world risk somewhat bounded, but even a mid-sized municipal IT team in leszno running Craft CMS for public-facing content management should treat this as an urgent patch given the trivially low attack complexity for any internal or guest-level account holder. The primary concern is integrity: authenticated users with minimal privileges can overwrite or erase files belonging to higher-privilege editors or administrators, potentially enabling content tampering or indirect privilege abuse via file replacement. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privilege content editor crafts a POST request to the assets/move-asset endpoint, supplying force=1 and the ID of a target folder owned by a more privileged user or another author. The server processes the move without verifying the requester's permissions on the destination, deletes any conflicting file already in that folder, and places the attacker's asset there. No exploit code is publicly known, but the attack requires only standard HTTP tooling and a valid session token. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026
Missing authorization enforcement in Craft CMS's assets/move-asset endpoint allows authenticated low-privilege users to move assets into other users' folders and force-delete conflicting files by supplying the force=1 parameter. Versions 5.0.0 through 5.10.10 are affected; version 5.10.11 resolves the flaw. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at this time, but the low attack complexity and absence of special prerequisites beyond a valid account make exploitation straightforward for any authenticated user.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Craft CMS 5.10.11 or later, which closes the missing authorization check in the assets/move-asset endpoint. The official fix is documented in the GitHub Security Advisory at https://github.com/craftcms/cms/security/advisories/GHSA-9xvf-7w97-83mv. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict the assets/move-asset endpoint at the web server or WAF layer to block requests containing the force=1 parameter - note this will break legitimate conflict-resolution workflows for all users. Alternatively, audit and tighten Craft CMS volume permissions to limit which user roles can access asset-management actions at all; reducing the pool of accounts that can authenticate to asset endpoints directly limits blast radius until the patch can be applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Craft CMS is a PHP-based content management system (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:craftcms:cms:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the assets/move-asset controller action fails to verify that the requesting user holds the necessary peer-asset permissions on the target folder when the force=1 query parameter is present. Craft CMS implements a volume- and folder-level permissions model to govern which users can manage each other's assets; the force flag, intended to resolve filename conflicts by deleting the conflicting destination file, bypasses this check entirely. The result is that any authenticated user can both inject assets into protected folder hierarchies and destroy existing files they have no right to touch.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Craft CMS versions before 5.10.11 lack authorization checks in the assets/move-asset endpoint when force=1 is supplied. Authenticated users without peer asset permissions can move their own assets into other users' folders and force deletion of conflicting files, allowing unauthorized asset deletion and replacement.

CWE-862 - Missing Authorization.
Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
Craft CMS versions 5.0.0 through 5.10.10 contain an authorization flaw in asset management that allows authenticated users to move and delete files across security boundaries. While no public exploit identified at time of analysis, any user with valid credentials can exploit this flaw, creating risk of data loss and unauthorized access in multi-user environments.
