CVE-2026-71415
Overview
CVE-2026-71415 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 31, 2026.
Technical Description
Kirby is an open-source content management system. From 5.0.0 until 5.5.2, Kirby's REST API chunk upload handler in src/Api/Upload.php did not run the relevant upload authorization preflight in Kirby\Api\Upload::process() before Kirby\Api\Upload::processChunk() persisted chunk data. An authenticated user with the access.panel permission enabled but with files.create, files.replace, and user/users.update permissions disabled could submit requests with an Upload-Length header and leave unfinished chunks in site/cache/.uploads for 24 hours. Repeating this process could consume attacker-controlled temporary storage, prevent other users from uploading files, or prevent site logic from storing data, although final permission checks still prevented unauthorized files from reaching the content or site/accounts directories. This issue is fixed in version 5.5.2.
