Disputed denial of service via malformed image upload
Published Mar 26, 2026 · Updated Mar 26, 2026
Reported denial of service in Kirby CMS through 5.1.4 allows remote authenticated users to disrupt pages via a malformed image upload. The reported path continues image processing after getimagesize() returns false, treating the result as image data and triggering a fatal TypeError during metadata or thumbnail generation. Editor permissions are required, and GitHub withdrew the advisory after determining that the reported behavior is not a vulnerability, leaving applicability disputed.
