# CVE-2026-50284: Craft CMS: Missing peer-permission check in \`AssetsController::actionDeleteFolder\` allows deletion of other users' assets

- Also known as: GHSA-7H62-6V23-V8FM
- Severity: CVSS 7.1 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 4.17.15, 5.9.22
- Published: 2026-07-01 · Updated: 2026-07-02

## Affected

- craftcms cms: from 4.0.0-RC1, fixed in 4.17.15
- craftcms/cms (Packagist): from 5.0.0-RC1, fixed in 5.9.22
- craftcms/cms (Packagist): from 4.0.0-RC1, fixed in 4.17.15

## Description

Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). In versions 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.9.21 and 4.0.0-RC1 through 4.17.14, theAssetsController::actionDeleteFolder() only requires the deleteAssets:<volume-uid> permission for the target folder. It never enforces deletePeerAssets:<volume-uid>, even though Assets::deleteFoldersByIds() cascades deletion to every descendant folder and every asset inside, regardless of the uploader's assigned privileges. A low-privilege user who has been granted folder-management rights on a shared volume can therefore destroy assets uploaded by other users (peer assets), bypassing the per-asset peer-permission check that the sibling actionDeleteAsset endpoint correctly applies. This issue has been fixed in versions 4.17.15 and 5.9.22.
