CVE-2026-23493 | Pimcore ENV Variables and Cookie Informations are exposed in http_error_log

Pimcore is an Open Source Data & Experience Management Platform. Prior to 12.3.1 and 11.5.14, the http_error_log file stores the $_COOKIE and $_SERVER variables, which means sensitive information such as database passwords, cookie session data, and other details can be accessed or recovered through the Pimcore backend. This vulnerability is fixed in 12.3.1 and 11.5.14.

8.6 3.1 HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:L)
Might cause slowdowns, glitches, or partial disruption—not a full brick.
