CVE-2026-33158 | Craft CMS: Low-privilege users could read private asset contents when editing an asset (IDOR)

Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). From version 4.0.0-RC1 to before version 4.17.8 and from version 5.0.0-RC1 to before version 5.9.14, a low-privileged authenticated user can read private asset content by calling assets/edit-image with an arbitrary assetId that they are not authorized to view. The endpoint returns image bytes (or a preview redirect) without enforcing a per-asset view authorization check, leading to potential unauthorized disclosure of private files. This issue has been patched in versions 4.17.8 and 5.9.14.

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:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
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:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
