CVE-2026-56384
Craft CMS - Missing Authorization in assets/preview-thumb Endpoint
Craft CMS contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the assets/preview-thumb endpoint. A Control Panel user without permission to view a target private asset can call the endpoint with an attacker-controlled assetId and receive preview HTML containing a signed fallback transform preview link for that private asset, because no asset-view permission check is performed before preview generation. This affects versions >= 4.0.0-RC1, <= 4.17.7 and >= 5.0.0-RC1, <= 5.9.13, and is fixed in 4.17.8 and 5.9.14.

Craft CMS: Authenticated "assets/preview-thumb" discloses signed fallback transform preview link to CP users without asset-view permission
Summary
A user with Control Panel access but without permission to view a target private asset can call assets/preview-thumb and receive preview HTML that contains a signed fallback transform link for that private asset.
Details
Root-cause analysis:
- The endpoint accepts an attacker-controlled
assetId. - Asset is resolved, and thumbnail HTML is returned.
- No explicit asset-view permission check is performed before preview generation.
Impact
Type:
- Missing authorization
- Unauthorized preview-link disclosure
Affected deployments:
- Craft sites with control panel users who have partial permissions and private assets.
Security consequence:
- A control panel user without asset-view permission can still obtain signed preview transform link data for private assets.
- This may increase private asset exposure risk depending on deployment and endpoint chaining.
