Who should care

This includes developers, system administrators, and security teams responsible for maintaining the CMS. The vulnerability's HIGH severity and potential for content loss make it a critical concern.

Technical summary

CVE-2026-49287 is a vulnerability in Statamic CMS, a Laravel and Git-powered content management system. The issue arises from an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-41175, which was addressed in the query builder but not in in-memory collection sorting. By manipulating sort parameters in a front-end template, an attacker could potentially cause loss of content and assets. This requires a template explicitly set up to sort by a visitor-controlled value, making it not exploitable by default. The vulnerability has been fixed in Statamic CMS versions 5.73.23 and 6.20.0.

Defensive priority

Patching is critical due to HIGH severity and potential for content loss.
