CVE-2025-30159Network attack vector

File disclosure and PHP execution via snippet traversal

Published May 13, 2025 · Updated May 13, 2025

Path traversal in Content Folder Kirby allows remote attackers to access server files outside the snippets root through dynamic names. The snippet() helper and $kirby->snippet() method resolve untrusted names containing ../ or slash separators without confirming that the resulting path remains beneath the configured snippets root. A site must pass request- or user-controlled data into a dynamic snippet name; successful traversal can disclose PHP-readable files and execute PHP code found at the selected path.
