Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Kirby's media handler in the getkirby/cms Packagist package, versions before 4.9.5 and from 5.0.0 before 5.5.2, has a path traversal flaw in its containment checks. A sibling directory whose name starts with the same prefix as the site's index root can pass those checks. The source describes the impact as access to media files with job files stored in such sibling directories, which can lead to information leaks and deletion of the job file; it does not say what an attacker must already have, so the exact prerequisites are unclear. Upgrade to Kirby 4.9.5 or 5.5.2, or a later version.
