CVE-2026-78394Network attack vector

Contributor-level file overwrite via unvalidated destination path

Published Sep 25, 2026 · Updated Sep 25, 2026

Path traversal in Community Events Project Link Library before 7.9.6 allows remote authenticated users to write image files outside the site root. The image-generation handler uses the user-supplied filepath value as a destination directory without canonicalizing or restricting it before creating directories and writing a numerically named image. Contributor access or higher is required; the flaw can create directories and write or overwrite fixed-extension image files wherever the web server account has permission, but it cannot plant executable code.
