{"id":"GHSA-3w32-23wj-rxg3","summary":"Craft CMS Vulnerable to Unauthorized Deletion of Destination Folders During Forced Moves","details":"We have identified an authorization issue in Craft CMS where a forced folder move can delete a conflicting destination folder without destination delete permission.\n\n### Description\n\nCraft CMS’s `craft\\\\controllers\\\\AssetsController::actionMoveFolder()` supports moving an asset folder into a destination parent folder. If a folder with the same name already exists at the destination, the action can be called with `force=true` to overwrite the destination.\n\nThe permission checks for this action allow:\n\n- `deleteAssets:\u003csourceVolumeUid\u003e` for the folder being moved  \n- `createFolders:\u003cdestVolumeUid\u003e` for the destination parent folder  \n- `saveAssets:\u003cdestVolumeUid\u003e` for the destination parent folder\n\nThe action does not require `deleteAssets` on the destination volume or destination conflict folder. When `force=true` and a name conflict exists, the code deletes the destination folder to resolve the conflict.\n\n```php\n$this-\u003erequireVolumePermissionByFolder('deleteAssets', $folderToMove);\n$this-\u003erequireVolumePermissionByFolder('createFolders', $destinationFolder);\n$this-\u003erequireVolumePermissionByFolder('saveAssets', $destinationFolder);\n```\n\n[*src/controllers/AssetsController.php:L751-L753*](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/5.x/src/controllers/AssetsController.php#L751-L753)\n\nIndexed destination conflicts are deleted via the Assets service:\n\n```php\n$assets-\u003edeleteFoldersByIds($existingFolder-\u003eid);\n```\n\n[*src/controllers/AssetsController.php:L798-L798*](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/5.x/src/controllers/AssetsController.php#L798-L798)\n\nUnindexed destination conflicts are deleted directly in the volume filesystem:\n\n```php\n$targetVolume-\u003edeleteDirectory(rtrim($destinationFolder-\u003epath, '/') . '/' . $folderToMove-\u003ename);\n```\n\n[*src/controllers/AssetsController.php:L815*](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/5.x/src/controllers/AssetsController.php#L815)\n\n### Impact\n\nA user who cannot delete assets in a destination volume can still delete a destination folder and its contents by triggering a forced move into a conflicting name. This can cause asset loss, broken references in entries and fields that point to deleted assets, and operational disruption.","aliases":["CVE-2026-50282"],"modified":"2026-08-24T00:37:01.532359717Z","published":"2026-07-02T20:03:58Z","database_specific":{"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-07-02T20:03:58Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-07-02T17:17:01Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-862"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/craftcms/cms/security/advisories/GHSA-3w32-23wj-rxg3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-50282"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/craftcms/cms/commit/2c2579c7f1030872423f268d0c8b48377101961d"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/craftcms/cms"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"craftcms/cms","ecosystem":"Packagist","purl":"pkg:composer/craftcms/cms"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.0.0-RC1"},{"fixed":"5.9.21"}]}],"versions":["5.0.0","5.0.0-RC1","5.0.1","5.0.2","5.0.3","5.0.4","5.0.5","5.0.6","5.1.0","5.1.1","5.1.10","5.1.2","5.1.3","5.1.4","5.1.5","5.1.6","5.1.7","5.1.8","5.1.9","5.2.0","5.2.0-beta.1","5.2.0-beta.2","5.2.0-beta.3","5.2.0-beta.4","5.2.0-beta.5","5.2.0-beta.6","5.2.1","5.2.10","5.2.2","5.2.3","5.2.4","5.2.4.1","5.2.5","5.2.6","5.2.7","5.2.8","5.2.9","5.3.0","5.3.0-beta.1","5.3.0-beta.2","5.3.0.1","5.3.0.2","5.3.0.3","5.3.1","5.3.2","5.3.3","5.3.4","5.3.5","5.3.6","5.4.0","5.4.0.1","5.4.1","5.4.10","5.4.10.1","5.4.2","5.4.3","5.4.4","5.4.5","5.4.5.1","5.4.6","5.4.7","5.4.7.1","5.4.8","5.4.9","5.5.0","5.5.0.1","5.5.1","5.5.1.1","5.5.10","5.5.2","5.5.3","5.5.4","5.5.5","5.5.6","5.5.6.1","5.5.7","5.5.8","5.5.9","5.6.0","5.6.0.1","5.6.0.2","5.6.1","5.6.10","5.6.10.1","5.6.10.2","5.6.11","5.6.12","5.6.13","5.6.14","5.6.15","5.6.16","5.6.17","5.6.2","5.6.3","5.6.4","5.6.5","5.6.5.1","5.6.6","5.6.7","5.6.8","5.6.9","5.6.9.1","5.7.0","5.7.0-beta.1","5.7.0-beta.2","5.7.1","5.7.1.1","5.7.10","5.7.11","5.7.2","5.7.3","5.7.4","5.7.5","5.7.6","5.7.7","5.7.8","5.7.8.1","5.7.8.2","5.7.9","5.8.0","5.8.1","5.8.10","5.8.11","5.8.12","5.8.13","5.8.13.1","5.8.13.2","5.8.14","5.8.15","5.8.16","5.8.17","5.8.18","5.8.19","5.8.2","5.8.20","5.8.21","5.8.22","5.8.23","5.8.3","5.8.4","5.8.5","5.8.6","5.8.7","5.8.8","5.8.9","5.9.0","5.9.0-beta.1","5.9.0-beta.2","5.9.1","5.9.10","5.9.11","5.9.12","5.9.13","5.9.14","5.9.15","5.9.16","5.9.17","5.9.18","5.9.19","5.9.2","5.9.20","5.9.3","5.9.4","5.9.5","5.9.6","5.9.7","5.9.8","5.9.9"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/07/GHSA-3w32-23wj-rxg3/GHSA-3w32-23wj-rxg3.json"}},{"package":{"name":"craftcms/cms","ecosystem":"Packagist","purl":"pkg:composer/craftcms/cms"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"4.0.0-RC1"},{"fixed":"4.17.14"}]}],"versions":["4.0.0","4.0.0-RC1","4.0.0-RC2","4.0.0-RC3","4.0.0.1","4.0.1","4.0.2","4.0.3","4.0.4","4.0.5","4.0.5.1","4.0.5.2","4.0.6","4.1.0","4.1.0.1","4.1.0.2","4.1.1","4.1.2","4.1.3","4.1.4","4.1.4.1","4.10.0","4.10.0-beta.1","4.10.0-beta.2","4.10.1","4.10.2","4.10.3","4.10.4","4.10.5","4.10.6","4.10.7","4.10.8","4.11.0","4.11.0.1","4.11.0.2","4.11.1","4.11.2","4.11.3","4.11.4","4.11.5","4.12.0","4.12.1","4.12.2","4.12.3","4.12.4","4.12.4.1","4.12.5","4.12.6","4.12.6.1","4.12.7","4.12.8","4.12.9","4.13.0","4.13.1","4.13.1.1","4.13.10","4.13.2","4.13.3","4.13.4","4.13.5","4.13.6","4.13.7","4.13.8","4.13.9","4.14.0","4.14.0.1","4.14.0.2","4.14.1","4.14.10","4.14.11","4.14.11.1","4.14.12","4.14.13","4.14.14","4.14.15","4.14.2","4.14.3","4.14.4","4.14.5","4.14.6","4.14.7","4.14.8","4.14.8.1","4.14.9","4.15.0","4.15.0-beta.1","4.15.0-beta.2","4.15.0.1","4.15.0.2","4.15.1","4.15.2","4.15.3","4.15.4","4.15.5","4.15.6","4.15.6.1","4.15.6.2","4.15.7","4.16.0","4.16.1","4.16.10","4.16.11","4.16.12","4.16.13","4.16.14","4.16.15","4.16.16","4.16.17","4.16.18","4.16.19","4.16.2","4.16.3","4.16.4","4.16.5","4.16.6","4.16.6.1","4.16.7","4.16.8","4.16.9","4.16.9.1","4.17.0","4.17.0-beta.1","4.17.0-beta.2","4.17.1","4.17.10","4.17.11","4.17.12","4.17.13","4.17.13.1","4.17.2","4.17.3","4.17.4","4.17.5","4.17.6","4.17.7","4.17.8","4.17.9","4.2.0","4.2.0.1","4.2.0.2","4.2.1","4.2.1.1","4.2.2","4.2.3","4.2.4","4.2.5","4.2.5.1","4.2.5.2","4.2.6","4.2.7","4.2.8","4.3.0","4.3.1","4.3.10","4.3.11","4.3.2","4.3.2.1","4.3.3","4.3.4","4.3.5","4.3.6","4.3.6.1","4.3.7","4.3.7.1","4.3.8","4.3.8.1","4.3.8.2","4.3.9","4.4.0","4.4.0-beta.1","4.4.0-beta.2","4.4.0-beta.3","4.4.0-beta.4","4.4.0-beta.5","4.4.0-beta.6","4.4.0-beta.7","4.4.1","4.4.10","4.4.10.1","4.4.11","4.4.12","4.4.13","4.4.14","4.4.15","4.4.16","4.4.16.1","4.4.17","4.4.2","4.4.3","4.4.4","4.4.5","4.4.6","4.4.6.1","4.4.7","4.4.7.1","4.4.8","4.4.9","4.5.0","4.5.0-beta.1","4.5.0-beta.2","4.5.1","4.5.10","4.5.11","4.5.11.1","4.5.12","4.5.13","4.5.14","4.5.15","4.5.2","4.5.3","4.5.4","4.5.5","4.5.6","4.5.6.1","4.5.7","4.5.8","4.5.9","4.6.0","4.6.0-RC1","4.6.1","4.7.0","4.7.1","4.7.2","4.7.2.1","4.7.3","4.7.4","4.8.0","4.8.1","4.8.10","4.8.11","4.8.2","4.8.3","4.8.4","4.8.5","4.8.6","4.8.7","4.8.8","4.8.9","4.9.
