cms: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs
CVE-2026-112777 is a high-severity incomplete list of disallowed inputs vulnerability in cms from Craft CMS, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with administrator privileges, without any action from a user. The record lists versions 4.18.8, 5.11.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating cms to one of those releases or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.61% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update cms to 4.18.8 or 5.11.0, whichever matches your release line, or a later version.
- Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.

Official description
Craft CMS 4.x before 4.18.8 and 5.x before 5.11.0 contains a blocklist bypass in the Twig create() function because its class-name checks are case-sensitive while PHP class resolution is not. Attackers with template-execution rights, such as Control Panel administrators, can instantiate SplFileObject via a lowercase class name to read .env secrets or write a PHP file into the webroot for remote code execution.

The underlying weakness: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs
The product implements a protection mechanism that relies on a list of inputs (or properties of inputs) that are not allowed by policy or otherwise require other action to neutralize before additional processing takes place, but the list is incomplete.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Do not rely exclusively on detecting disallowed inputs. There are too many variants to encode a character, especially when different environments are used, so there is a high likelihood of missing some variants. Only use detection of disallowed inputs as a mechanism for detecting suspicious activity. Ensure that you are using other protection mechanisms that only identify good input - such as lists of allowed inputs - and ensure that you are properly encoding your outputs.
