CVE-2026-113358 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-20

LavaLite CMS is a content management system that organizes and stores files. The Filer module fails to require authentication before allowing users to download or view files, enabling attackers to retrieve private files, sensitive uploads, or data stored on connected cloud storage without logging in. An attacker can exploit this to access private application data depending on what files the CMS stores.

## Technical details

The Filer module's /filer/download and /filer/display routes lack authentication middleware checks, allowing unauthenticated attackers to invoke FileController methods that directly pass user-controlled disk and path parameters to Laravel's Storage facade. By specifying arbitrary disk names and file paths, an attacker can read files from any configured filesystem (local storage or remote S3), resulting in unauthorized arbitrary file read with no preconditions beyond network access.
