The clientIp function in CakePHP 3.2.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to spoof their IP via the CLIENT-IP HTTP header.
- CVE-2026-77635Critical
CakePHP is a rapid development framework for PHP. Prior to versions 5.1.10, 5.2.15, and 5.3.7, FunctionsBuilder::jsonValue() with PostgresDriver is vulnerable to SQL injection when user-controlled data is supplied to the jsonPath parameter.
- CVE-2026-77634High
CakePHP is a rapid development framework for PHP. Prior to versions 4.5.12, 4.6.5, 5.1.8, 5.2.14, and 5.3.7 on their respective release lines, custom mail headers added with Message::setHeaders() or Message::addHeaders() do not have CRLF bytes removed, allowing header injection when user-controlled data is used in message headers.
- CVE-2026-48820Medium
In CakePHP, versions 4.5.11 and earlier, 4.6.0 through 4.6.3, 5.0.0 through 5.1.6, 5.2.0 through 5.2.12, and 5.3.0 through 5.3.5, the View::_getElementFileName() function does not check if the resolved element path is within the allowed application/plugin view template paths. This weakness can be exploited to include other PHP files on the server using specifically crafted user-supplied data.
