+### Security
+
+* **Validation**: *Uploaded file extension validation bypass in `ext_in` rule*
+    The ``ext_in`` file upload validation rule now validates the client filename extension and verifies that it
+    matches the detected MIME type. Previously, ``ext_in`` only checked the MIME-derived guessed extension, so
+    a file with a mismatched client extension could pass validation.
+
+    See the [GHSA-2gr4-ppc7-7mhx security advisory](https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/security/advisories/GHSA-2gr4-ppc7-7mhx) for more information. Credits to @z3moo and @teebow1e for reporting the issue.
