"CVE-2026-48820"
],
"details": "### Impact\n`View::_getElementFileName()` does not check that the resolved element path is within the application/plugin view template paths. When element names are created with specifically crafted user-supplied data this weakness can be leveraged to include other PHP files on the server.\n\n### Patches\nPatched releases are available in 5.3.6, 5.2.13, 5.1.7, 4.6.4, and 4.5.11.\n\n### Workarounds\nIf developers are not using user-supplied data in element names, no action is required.",
