CVE-2026-45233
Last modified
CVE-2026-45233 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
