CVE-2026-82395

Sulu is an open-source PHP content management system based on the Symfony framework.

Sulu is an open-source PHP content management system based on the Symfony framework. Prior to versions 2.6.25 and 3.0.8, the media move endpoint derives its permission check from the client-supplied collection value instead of the media item's actual source collection, and src/Sulu/Bundle/MediaBundle/Media/Manager/MediaManager.php allows MediaManager::move() to reassign the item without checking that source. An authenticated backend user with edit permission on one collection and knowledge of a target media identifier can name the allowed collection in the request, move an item out of a restricted collection, and then view or download content the user was not permitted to access. This issue is fixed in versions 2.6.25 and 3.0.8.

Description from the National Vulnerability Database, published by GitHub

What to do: Apply the vendor’s update. The NVD record links to the advisory.

What it means for a small business

If your business uses sulu, install the vendor's update. If you're not sure whether you use it, ask whoever manages your computers.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.43%, higher than 36% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 28, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

  • Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
  • Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
