CVE-2026-116213: Webasyst Framework arbitrary file read via symlink in theme archive

CVE-2026-116213 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.9 · Published 2026-10-26

Webasyst Framework is a PHP/JS platform for building CRM, CMS, and e-commerce applications.

This allows an attacker with administrative theme access to expose confidential configuration data.

Technical details

The waArchiveTar::writeItem() function does not validate symlink targets when extracting theme archives, allowing authenticated users to create symlinks pointing to arbitrary files on the system. An attacker with theme management permissions can craft a tar archive containing symlinks to sensitive paths (wa-config/db.php, /etc/passwd) which become accessible via the public theme path. The vulnerability requires authentication and specific administrative privileges but bypasses normal file access controls.
