CVE-2026-115194 Details
Description
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Mautic Asset API. When creating a local asset through the API, the supplied file path is not restricted to the asset upload directory. An authenticated API user with permission to create assets can register any file that is readable by the web server process as a Mautic asset. When the asset is published, its public download URL serves the contents of that file without authentication. This allows the attacker to read arbitrary files from the server, including Mautic configuration files containing the database password, secret key, and mail (SMTP) credentials, as well as system files and any other file readable by the web server user. Exposed credentials can be used to access the database or other connected services, and anyone with the public asset URL can retrieve the file contents.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the Mautic Asset API, affecting versions 2.3.0 through 5.2.11, 6.0.0 through 6.0.9, and 7.0.0 through 7.2.1. The vulnerability arises because the file path provided when creating a local asset through the API is not confined to the designated asset upload directory. This flaw enables an authenticated API user with asset creation permissions to register any file that the web server can read as a Mautic asset. Once the asset is published, its public download URL allows anyone to access the file's contents without authentication. This vulnerability could be exploited to read arbitrary files from the server, including sensitive Mautic configuration files and other files accessible by the web server user.
Users can upgrade to Mautic versions 5.2.12, 6.0.10, or 7.2.2 to address this vulnerability. For those using legacy Mautic 4 releases, general security support is available through the Extended Long-Term Support (ELTS) program.
