Summary
Craft CMS has authenticated path traversal in `assets/icon`, allowing local `.svg` file read
Details

Summary

An authenticated path traversal in assets/icon allows local SVG file read by passing traversal sequences in the extension parameter. The issue is caused by file existence checks happening before extension validation.

Details

The endpoint: - src/controllers/AssetsController.php:1115-1123 - actionIcon(string $extension) calls Assets::iconPath($extension) and returns sendFile($path, ...).

In Assets::iconPath(): - Path is built from user-controlled extension: - src/helpers/Assets.php:906-909 - If file_exists($path) is true, path is returned immediately: - src/helpers/Assets.php:910-912

Validation exists in Assets::iconSvg(): - preg_match('/^\w+$/', $extension) - src/helpers/Assets.php:927-931

However, that validation is only reached if iconPath() does not find a file. So traversal payloads that resolve to existing .svg files bypass validation and are served by sendFile().

Impact

  • Authenticated users can read local .svg files accessible to the application process.
