CVE-2026-33158Network attack vector

Private asset disclosure via unchecked asset identifier

Published Mar 24, 2026 · Updated Mar 24, 2026

Authorization bypass in Craft CMS 4.0.0-RC1 through 4.17.7 and 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.9.13 allows remote authenticated users to read private assets. The assets/edit-image action loads and returns image bytes or a preview redirect for a user-controlled assetId without checking permission to view that asset. Exploitation requires a low-privileged account and an installation containing private assets, and it exposes file contents without reported modification or service interruption.
