CVE-2026-54261 Details
Description
Wagtail is an open source content management system built on Django. In versions prior to 7.0.8, 7.3.3 and 7.4.2, due to a missing permission check on the image preview endpoint, a user with access to the Wagtail admin can preview any image. The existing data of the image object itself is not exposed. The vulnerability is not exploitable by an ordinary site visitor without access to the Wagtail admin. This issue has been fixed in versions 7.0.8, 7.3.3, and 7.4.2.
A vulnerability exists in Wagtail versions prior to 7.0.8, 7.3.3, and 7.4.2, due to a lack of proper permission checks on the image preview endpoint. This allows users with access to the Wagtail admin to preview any image, although the detailed data of the image object is not revealed. The vulnerability cannot be exploited by regular site visitors without Wagtail admin access.
Users can upgrade to Wagtail versions 7.0.8, 7.3.3, or 7.4.2 to address this vulnerability. For those unable to upgrade, a patch can be applied by adding a custom view with the necessary permission checks to the site's `urls.py` file.
