Yii 2: Local file inclusion via view parameter name collision
CVE-2026-39850GHSA-5vpg-rj7q-qpw2
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (yiisoft/yii2 2.0.55), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
The core view rendering method View::renderPhpFile() calls extract($params, EXTROVERWRITE) before the require statement that includes the view file. A caller-controlled parameter named file in the $params array overwrites the internal local variable that specifies which file is included — enabling a Local File Inclusion primitive. Impact - Local File Inclusion (arbitrary file read via non-PHP files) - Potential RCE if attacker can write PHP files via a separate primitive - Information disclosure Patches 2.0.55 Workarounds No.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-39850 Advisory: Yii 2: Local file inclusion via view parameter name collision IDs: CVE-2026-39850, GHSA-5vpg-rj7q-qpw2 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-39850 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:48 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: High (CVSS 7.4) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: yiisoft/yii2 2.0.55. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Packagist yiisoft/yii2: affected < 2.0.55; fixed in 2.0.55 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Packagist yiisoft/yii2: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on yiisoft/yii2. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-5vpg-rj7q-qpw2 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-5vpg-rj7q-qpw2 lists affected ranges: Packagist yiisoft/yii2 >=0 <2.0.55) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
