# CVE-2026-54179: backpack/crud: SingleBase64Image accepts any base64 payload behind a \`data:image\` prefix — SVG-with-script lands on the public disk

- Also known as: GHSA-8HW4-7QJR-3WXG
- Severity: CVSS 4.4 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 6.8.14, 7.0.38
- Published: 2026-08-31 · Updated: 2026-09-01

## Affected

- Laravel-Backpack CRUD: from 6.0.0, fixed in 6.8.14; from 7.0.0, fixed in 7.0.38
- backpack/crud (Packagist): from 6.0.0, fixed in 6.8.14
- backpack/crud (Packagist): from 7.0.0, fixed in 7.0.38

## Description

backpack/crud provides Create, Read, Update & Delete (CRUD) functions for Backpack, a collection of Laravel packages that help users build custom administration panels. From 6.0.0 until 6.8.14 and 7.0.37, the src/app/Library/Uploaders/SingleBase64Image.php methods SingleBase64Image::uploadFiles and SingleBase64Image::uploadRepeatableFiles, used by image fields through withFiles(), accept any data URI beginning with data:image without validating the declared MIME subtype or decoded bytes, while src/app/Library/Uploaders/Support/FileNameGenerator.php method FileNameGenerator::getExtensionFromFile applies mime_content_type() to the data URI instead of the decoded content. An authenticated administrator can therefore store arbitrary file content under an extensionless filename on the configured disk, which can cause stored cross-site scripting or other unintended behavior when the file is served and accessed. This issue is fixed in version 7.0.38 and 6.8.14.
