CVE-2026-33687
March 26, 2026
Sharp is a content management framework built for Laravel as a package. Versions prior to 9.20.0 contain a vulnerability in the file upload endpoint that allows authenticated users to bypass all file type restrictions. The upload endpoint within the "ApiFormUploadController" accepts a client-controlled "validation_rule" parameter. This parameter is directly passed into the Laravel validator without sufficient server-side enforcement. By intercepting the request and sending "validation_rule[]=file", an attacker can completely bypass all MIME type and file extension restrictions. This issue has been addressed in version 9.20.0 by removing the client-controlled validation rules and strictly defining upload rules server-side. As a workaround, ensure that the storage disk used for Sharp uploads is strictly private. Under default configurations, an attacker cannot directly execute uploaded PHP files unless a public disk configuration is explicitly used.
