Pimcore vulnerable to Pre-Auth Path Traversal in pimcore_log parameter

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 30, 2023 in pimcore/pimcore • Updated Nov 11, 2023

Package

composer pimcore/pimcore (Composer)

Affected versions

< 10.5.22

Patched versions

10.5.22

Description

Impact

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the CMS, which allows an attacker to overwrite or modify sensitive files by manipulating the pimcore_log parameter.This can lead to potential denial of service---key file overwrite.

The impact of this vulnerability allows attackers to:

  • Overwrite or modify sensitive files, potentially leading to unauthorized access, privilege escalation, or disclosure of confidential information.

  • Tamper with system settings by modifying key files, such as the hosts file in Windows or configuration files for other services.

  • Cause a denial of service (DoS) if critical system files are overwritten or deleted.

The consequences of exploiting this vulnerability can be detrimental to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. It's crucial to address this vulnerability to protect sensitive data and ensure the proper functioning of the system.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
