CVE-2022-25769: Improper regex in htaccess file

Published Sep 18, 2024
·
Updated

ImpactThe default .htaccess file has some restrictions in the access to PHP files to only allow specific PHP files to be executed in the root of the application.

This logic isn't correct, as the regex in the second FilesMatch only checks the filename, not the full path.

Affected Software

2 affected components
Acquia Mautic<3.3.5
Acquia Mautic>=4.0.0<4.2.0

Remediation

Information

Upgrade to 3.3.5 or 4.2.0. If you're using Mautic in a sub-folder with Apache (e.g. example.com/mautic), please review the guidance in this GitHub issue https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues/10913#issuecomment-1055681986  before updating, as you will probably need to make some changes to the .htaccess file after you update.
