Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35944)

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to improperly imposed security restrictions when providing public access to the admin panel. A remote user with access to the admin panel and permission to open the "Editor" section can bypass the Safe Mode (cms.safe_mode) restriction and introduce new PHP code in a CMS template using a specially crafted request. As a result, remote PHP code execution is possible.
