CVE-2026-50282 — Craft CMS: Unauthorized Deletion of Destination Folders During Forced Moves

Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). Versions 5.0.0-RC1 and above, prior to 5.9.21 and versions 4.0.0-RC1 and above prior to 4.17.14 contain an authorization issue where a forced folder move can delete a conflicting destination folder without destination delete permission. Function craft\\controllers\\AssetsController::actionMoveFolder() supports moving an asset folder into a destination parent folder. If a folder with the same name already exists at the destination, the action can be called with force=true to overwrite the destination. This issue has been resolved in versions 5.9.21 and 4.17.14.

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

Technical severity (medium)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
