Concrete CMS has an unauthorized file access issue

view advisory published 2026-05-22Licence: CC-BY-4.0

In Concrete CMS 9.5.0 and below,  the submit_password() method in concrete/controllers/single_page/download_file.php allows unauthorized file access since downloading permission-restricted files bypasses the view_file permission check. Files without passwords can be downloaded and any user who knows a file's password can download a password protected file regardless of whether they have permission to access the file.
