SCA: security update for craftcms/cms (GHSA-fp5j-j7j4-mcxc)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438647

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Craft is a content management system (CMS). Prior to 5.9.9 and 4.17.4, a Remote Code Execution
 vulnerability exists in the Craft CMS 5 conditions system. The
 BaseElementSelectConditionRule::getElementIds() method passes user-controlled string input through
 renderObjectTemplate() -- an unsandboxed Twig rendering function with escaping disabled. Any authenticated
 Control Panel user (including non-admin roles such as Author or Editor) can achieve full RCE by sending a
 crafted condition rule via standard element listing endpoints. This vulnerability requires no admin
 privileges, no special permissions beyond basic control panel access, and bypasses all production
 hardening settings (allowAdminChanges: false, devMode: false, enableTwigSandbox: true). Users should
 update to the patched 5.9.9 or 4.17.4 release to mitigate the issue. (CVE-2026-31857)

Solution

Update the craftcms/cms library and its related packages to version 4.17.4 or later.
