Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Kirby (Packagist package getkirby/cms) versions below 4.9.5 and from 5.0.0 up to but not including 5.5.2 are affected by a path traversal flaw in the media handling. On servers that accept encoded slashes in URLs, such as nginx or PHP's built-in server, a remote attacker can request thumbnails of media files in arbitrary accessible directories and detect whether JSON files exist elsewhere on the server; the source says this is high severity and that Apache with default settings is not affected. Upgrade to Kirby 4.9.5, 5.5.2, or a later version.
