EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence

This medium-severity CVE scores 5.3 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

The CVE record names the fixed release — apply it.

Contao is an Open Source CMS. From version 5.0.0 until 5.3.50 and 5.7.12, ImagesController joins the user-controlled {path} parameter to the configured image target directory with Path::join() but does not use Path::isBasePath() to verify that the canonical path remains inside that directory. An unauthenticated request containing encoded parent-directory segments can therefore return files under the project directory through BinaryFileResponse when their names use an extension allowed by contao.image.valid_extensions. The route can also reveal whether arbitrary paths exist, and debug responses can disclose absolute filesystem paths, but paths below the upload directory were not shown to be readable. This issue is fixed in versions 5.3.50 and 5.7.12.

The CVE record names the fixed release. Apply it within your standard update timelines at low or medium mission impact and sooner than that at high.

Exploitation none (no KEV listing, exploit record or EPSS ≥ 50%) · Automatable unknown (not published for this CVE) · Technical impact partial (CVSS below 9.0). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
