CVE-2026-116898 Details
Description
REDAXO before 5.21.4 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the media pool bulk move that checks only target category permission, ignoring the source category. Authenticated backend users with permission for one media category can move files from restricted categories into it, then silently replace their contents site-wide.
A missing authorization vulnerability has been identified in REDAXO versions prior to 5.21.4. This vulnerability exists in the media pool bulk move feature, which only verifies permissions for the target category while ignoring the source category. As a result, authenticated backend users with access to one media category can transfer files from restricted categories into their own, effectively replacing the files' contents across the site. The issue arises because the bulk move function does not check whether the user has permission for the source category from which the files are being moved.
Users can upgrade to REDAXO version 5.21.4 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. The bulk move feature now correctly checks permissions for both the source and target categories, preventing unauthorized file transfers.
