CVE-2026-48500
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 · uneditedFilament 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 confidenceFilament 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.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Filament versionCheck your composer.json or run 'composer show filament/filament' to see the installed versionAffected if version is below 3.3.52, 4.11.5, or 5.6.5 (or if you cannot determine version)
-
Locate components with file upload fieldsSearch codebase for usage of FileUpload::class, Upload::class, or similar upload field types in your Filament resources/pagesAffected if any component contains file upload fields and Filament version is vulnerable
-
Identify components that don't require uploadsReview components found in step 2 and check if they are login forms, auth forms, or other non-file-upload forms that still have upload capabilityAffected if any non-file-upload form (like login) includes an upload field or the trait is applied to it
-
Inspect temporary upload directoryCheck the system temp directory (e.g., /tmp/filament or storage/framework/cache) for unexpected uploaded filesAffected 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.

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