Summary

Impact On front-end forms with an asset upload field, PHP files crafted to look like images may be uploaded regardless of mime validation rules. This only affects forms using the "Forms" feature and not just any arbitrary form. This does not affect the control panel. Patches It has been patched in 3.4.13 and 4.33.0.

Impact

What is unrestricted upload of dangerous file types?

The application accepts file uploads without adequately restricting the file type or content. Typical impact: remote code execution if the uploaded file can be served and executed on the server.

Severity and exposure

CVE-2023-47129 has a CVSS score of 8.3 (High). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.

A fixed version is available (4.33.0, 3.4.13). Upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Affected versions

composer

  • statamic/cms (>= 4.0.0, < 4.33.0)
  • statamic/cms (< 3.4.13)

Security releases

  • statamic/cms → 3.4.13 (composer)
Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.

Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether CVE-2023-47129 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

Is CVE-2023-47129 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2023-47129 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2023-47129 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

How do I fix CVE-2023-47129?
  • Upgrade statamic/cms to 4.33.0 or later
  • Upgrade statamic/cms to 3.4.13 or later
