Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Filament is a collection of full-stack components for accelerated Laravel development. From 3.0.0 until 3.3.52, 4.11.5, and 5.6.5, any schema can contain a file upload form field, so Filament applies Livewire's WithFileUploads trait to the Livewire component the schema is embedded in. However, some schemas, such as the panel login form, do not require file uploads, and exposing unauthenticated temporary file uploads on these components is not an acceptable risk. On these components, an unauthenticated attacker could upload arbitrary files to the application's temporary storage, which could be abused to exhaust disk space or inflate storage costs. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.3.52, 4.11.5, and 5.6.5.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Filament applies Livewire's WithFileUploads trait to all components containing file upload form fields, but this trait is also incorrectly applied to schemas like login forms that don't require file uploads, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to temporary storage.

MitigationUpgrade Filament to version 3.3.52, 4.11.5, or 5.6.5 or later to receive the patch that prevents unnecessary file upload trait application.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Filament version
    Check your composer.json or run 'composer show filament/filament' to see the installed version
    Affected if version is below 3.3.52, 4.11.5, or 5.6.5 (or if you cannot determine version)
  2. Locate components with file upload fields
    Search codebase for usage of FileUpload::class, Upload::class, or similar upload field types in your Filament resources/pages
    Affected if any component contains file upload fields and Filament version is vulnerable
  3. Identify components that don't require uploads
    Review components found in step 2 and check if they are login forms, auth forms, or other non-file-upload forms that still have upload capability
    Affected if any non-file-upload form (like login) includes an upload field or the trait is applied to it
  4. Inspect temporary upload directory
    Check the system temp directory (e.g., /tmp/filament or storage/framework/cache) for unexpected uploaded files
    Affected if unexpected or unknown files exist in temp directories that correspond to upload timestamps

If Filament version is below 3.3.52/4.11.5/5.6.5 AND your application has any components with file upload fields, the unnecessary WithFileUploads trait may be applied and the environment could be affected.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade Filament to version 3.3.52, 4.11.5, or 5.6.5 or later to receive the patch that prevents unnecessary file upload trait application.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to Filament 3.3.52 (branch 3.x), 4.11.5 (branch 4.x), or 5.6.5 (branch 5.x)

  1. Identify the Filament branch currently in use (3.x, 4.x, or 5.x) by checking the composer.json or lock file
  2. Run 'composer require filament/filament:^3.3.52' for branch 3.x, 'composer require filament/filament:^4.11.5' for branch 4.x, or 'composer require filament/filament:^5.6.5' for branch 5.x
  3. Run 'composer update filament/filament --with-all-dependencies' to apply the upgrade
  4. Verify the upgrade was successful by running 'composer show filament/filament' and confirming the version number
  5. Clear any cached configurations with 'php artisan clear-compiled' or 'php artisan config:clear'
