CVE-2026-63223
Last modified
CVE-2026-63223 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework. Prior to 4.7.4, the is_image and mime_in upload validation rules do not independently enforce a safe client filename extension, allowing a remote attacker to upload executable content when an application preserves the client filename and stores uploads in a web-accessible script-enabled directory. EPSS estimates a 0.49% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
CodeIgniter is a PHP full-stack web framework. Prior to 4.7.4, the is_image and mime_in upload validation rules do not independently enforce a safe client filename extension, allowing a remote attacker to upload executable content when an application preserves the client filename and stores uploads in a web-accessible script-enabled directory. Applications are impacted when they validate uploads using is_image or mime_in without an independent safe extension check (such as ext_in on patched versions), save uploaded files using the client-supplied filename, and place uploads in a web-accessible directory where PHP files can execute. This issue is fixed in version 4.7.4.
