Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the content.fileRedirects process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to files in top-level drafts by directly requesting clean file URLs, bypassing authentication and authorization checks. This is only exploitable if the content.fileRedirects option is enabled (set to true or a custom closure) in Kirby 5, or not explicitly disabled in Kirby 4, and the attacker knows the full clean file URL.
