Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Sourcefabric Newscoop version 4.4.7
Description
The issue allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary PHP code, and sometimes terminal commands, on a server. This is achieved by making an avatar update and then visiting the avatar file under the "/images/" path. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not available. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.
Recommendations
For Sourcefabric Newscoop version 4.4.7, consider restricting access to the
/images/ path to prevent exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the avatar update feature until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploitability
