CVE-2026-45233 Details
Description
HTMLy CMS through 3.1.1 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows low-privileged authenticated attackers to relocate arbitrary files by supplying directory traversal sequences in the oldfile parameter at the admin autosave endpoint. Attackers can pass unsanitized traversal sequences directly to file_exists() and rename() functions in admin.php without canonicalization or directory boundary enforcement to cause unintended relocation of any file writable by the web server process to an attacker-specified draft location.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in HTMLy CMS versions through 3.1.1. This vulnerability allows low-privileged authenticated attackers to relocate arbitrary files by exploiting the oldfile parameter at the admin autosave endpoint. The issue arises because the application fails to properly validate or sanitize the supplied path before it is used in filesystem operations. As a result, attackers can manipulate directory traversal sequences to access files outside the intended directory and move them to a specified draft location.
Users are advised to update to HTMLy CMS versions after 3.1.1, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
