Craft CMS is a content management system (CMS). From version 4.0.0-RC1 to before version 4.17.5 and from version 5.0.0-RC1 to before version 5.9.11, there is a Behavior injection RCE vulnerability in ElementIndexesController and FieldsController. Craft control panel administrator permissions and allowAdminChanges must be enabled for this to work. This issue has been patched in versions 4.17.5 and 5.9.11.

Other sources

The fix for https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-7jx7-3846-m7w7 (commit https://github.com/craftcms/cms/commit/395c64f0b80b507be1c862a2ec942eaacb353748) only patched src/services/Fields.php, but the same vulnerable pattern exists in ElementIndexesController and FieldsController.

You need Craft control panel administrator permissions, and allowAdminChanges must be enabled for this to work.

An attacker can use the same gadget chain from the original advisory to achieve RCE.

Users should update to Craft 4.17.5 and 5.9.11 to mitigate the issue.
