CVE-2026-28423
CWE-918Published: February 27, 2026· Updated: Mar 5, 2026
Official Description
Statmatic is a Laravel and Git powered content management system (CMS). Prior to versions 5.73.11 and 6.4.0, when Glide image manipulation is used in insecure mode (which is not the default), the image proxy can be abused by an unauthenticated user to make the server send HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs—either via the URL directly or via the watermark feature. That can allow access to internal services, cloud metadata endpoints, and other hosts reachable from the server. This has been fixed in 5.73.11 and 6.4.0.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-28423 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), with a CVSS base score of 8.6.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
