Impact You are affected if your php.ini configuration has registerargcargv enabled.

Patches Update to 3.9.14, 4.13.2, or 5.5.2.

Workarounds If you can't upgrade yet, and registerargcargv is enabled, you can disable it to mitigate the issue.

Craft is a platform for creating digital experiences. In versions 5.0.0-RC1 through 5.8.20 and 3.0.0 through 4.16.16, unauthenticated users can trigger database backup operations via specific admin actions, potentially leading to resource exhaustion or information disclosure. Users should update to the patched versions (5.8.21 and 4.16.17) to mitigate the issue. Craft 3 users should update to the latest Craft 4 and 5 releases, which include the fixes.
