Statamic: Missing file upload validation on frontend forms allows uploading disallowed file types

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jul 9, 2026 in statamic/cms • Updated Aug 6, 2026

Package

composer statamic/cms (Composer)

Affected versions

< 5.74.3
>= 6.0.0, < 6.24.2

Patched versions

5.74.3
6.24.2

Description

Impact

Public frontend forms did not enforce the file upload restrictions that the Control Panel enforces, so an unauthenticated visitor could upload file types an administrator had intended to disallow through a form's assets or files field. For assets fields, files could be stored on a public, web-accessible disk. Statamic's global upload allowlist still applied, so executable types such
as .php and .html remained blocked.

Patches

This has been fixed in 5.74.3 and 6.24.2.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
