GHSA-c43v-4cr8-6mvp: Craft CMS has authenticated path traversal in `assets/icon`, allowing local `.svg` file read

July 9, 2026 (updated August 6, 2026)

An authenticated path traversal in assets/icon allows local SVG file read by passing traversal sequences in the extension parameter. The issue is caused by file existence checks happening before extension validation.
