Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). From version 4.0.0-RC1 to before version 4.17.8 and from version 5.0.0-RC1 to before version 5.9.14, a low-privileged authenticated user can call assets/image-editor with the ID of a private asset they cannot view and still receive editor response data, including focalPoint. The endpoint returns private editing metadata without per-asset authorization validation. This issue has been patched in versions 4.17.8 and 5.9.14.

CVE-2026-33161 [LOW] CWE-200 Craft CMS' anonymous "assets/image-editor" calls return private asset editor metadata to unauthorized users
Craft CMS' anonymous "assets/image-editor" calls return private asset editor metadata to unauthorized users
### Summary
A low-privileged authenticated user can call `assets/image-editor` with the ID of a private asset they cannot view and still receive editor response data, including `focalPoint`.
The endpoint returns private editing metadata without per-asset authorization validation.
Root-cause analysis:
1. `actionImageEditor()` accepts `assetId` from the request body.
2. The asset is loaded, and the focal-point data is read.
3. Response returns `html` and `focalPoint`.
4. No explicit authorization check is applied before the response.
### Impact
## Affected deployments:
* Craft sites where asset edit metadata should remain restricted to authorized users.
## Security consequence
