Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in craftcms Craft CMS up to 5.10.12 and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects the function View::renderObjectTemplate of the component Redirect Handler. The manipulation of the argument returnUrl/redirect with an unknown input leads to a special elements in template engine vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-1336. The product uses a template engine to insert or process externally-influenced input, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements or syntax that can be interpreted as template expressions or other code directives when processed by the engine. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Craft CMS versions 5.10.0 through 5.10.12 contain an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-55794: the Controller::getPostedRedirectUrl() -> View::renderObjectTemplate() sink remained unsandboxed, and the same fix commit added a self-signing oracle in Cp::elementLabelHtml(). Because Craft/Yii HMAC tokens are not bound to a parameter name, an authenticated low-privilege control panel user with edit rights on a single element type can mint a token over attacker-controlled Twig for the returnUrl parameter and replay it as the redirect POST parameter, reaching the unsandboxed sink and achieving server-side template injection that executes arbitrary PHP code (full server compromise). The issue is fixed in 5.10.13.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-92593 since 09/16/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. This vulnerability is assigned to T1221 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

Upgrading to version 5.10.13 eliminates this vulnerability.
