Craft is a content management system (CMS). In versions 4.5.0-RC1 through 4.16.18 and 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.8.22, the SSRF validation in Craft CMS’s GraphQL Asset mutation performs DNS resolution separately from the HTTP request. This Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability enables DNS rebinding attacks, where an attacker’s DNS server returns different IP addresses for validation compared to the actual request. This is a bypass of the security fix for CVE-2025-68437 that allows access to all blocked IPs, not just IPv6 endpoints. Exploitation requires GraphQL schema permissions for editing assets in the `` volume and creating assets in the `` volume. These permissions may be granted to authenticated users with appropriate GraphQL schema access and/or Public Schema (if misconfigured with write permissions). Versions 4.16.19 and 5.8.23 patch the issue.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-27127 since 02/17/2026. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The attack can be initiated remotely. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

Upgrading to version 4.16.19 or 5.8.23 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch a4cf3fb63bba3249cf1e2882b18a2d29e77a8575 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at github.com. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
