Sulu is an open-source PHP content management system based on the Symfony framework. In affected versions an attacker can read arbitrary local files via a PHP file include. In a default configuration this also leads to remote code execution. The problem is patched with the Versions 1.6.44, 2.2.18, 2.3.8, 2.4.0. For users unable to upgrade overwrite the service suluroute.generator.expressiontokenprovider and wrap the translator before passing it to the expression language.

Sulu is an open-source PHP content management system based on the Symfony framework. In versions of Sulu prior to 1.6.41, it is possible for a logged in admin user to add a script injection (cross-site-scripting) in the collection title. The problem is patched in version 1.6.41. As a workaround, one may manually patch the affected JavaScript files in lieu of updating.

The problem is patched with Version 2.4.17 and 2.5.13.

Workarounds

Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?

Remove following lines from vendor/symfony/security-http/HttpUtils.php:

- // Shortcut if request has already been matched before - if ($request->attributes->has('route')) { - return $path === $request->attributes->get('route'); - }

Or do not install symfony/security-http versions greater equal than v5.4.30 or v6.3.6.

Sulu is an open-source PHP content management system based on the Symfony framework. In affected versions Sulu users who have access to any subset of the admin UI are able to elevate their privilege. Over the API it was possible for them to give themselves permissions to areas which they did not already had. This issue was introduced in 2.0.0-RC1 with the new ProfileController putAction. The versions have been patched in 2.2.18, 2.3.8 and 2.4.0. For users unable to upgrade the only known workaround is to apply a patch to the ProfileController manually.

In Sulu v2.0.0 through v2.6.4 are vulnerable against XSS whereas a low privileged user with an access to the “Media” section can upload an SVG file with a malicious payload. Once uploaded and accessed, the malicious javascript will be executed on the victims’ (other users including admins) browsers.

XSS, Input Validation
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Impact

This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript code through the media download URL in Sulu CMS. It affects the SuluMediaBundle component. The vulnerability is a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue, which could potentially allow attackers to steal sensitive information, manipulate the website's content, or perform actions on behalf of the victim.

Patches

The problem has not been patched yet. Users should upgrade to patched versions once they become available. Currently affected versions are:

2.6.4 2.5.20

Workarounds

Until an official patch is released, users can implement additional input validation and output encoding for the 'slug' parameter in the MediaStreamController's downloadAction method. Alternatively, configuring a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter potentially malicious input could serve as a temporary mitigation.

- 2.6.9 - 2.5.25 - 3.0.0-alpha3

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

In Sulu before versions 1.6.35, 2.0.10, and 2.1.1, when the "Forget password" feature on the login screen is used, Sulu asks the user for a username or email address. If the given string is not found, a response with a 400 error code is returned, along with a error message saying that this user name does not exist. This enables attackers to retrieve valid usernames. Also, the response of the "Forgot Password" request returns the email address to which the email was sent, if the operation was successful. This information should not be exposed, as it can be used to gather email addresses. This problem was fixed in versions 1.6.35, 2.0.10 and 2.1.1.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

Impact

It allows over the Admin Login form to detect which user (username, email) exists and which one do not exist.

Impacted by this issue are Sulu installation >= 2.5.0 and <2.5.10 using the newer Symfony Security System which is default since Symfony 6.0 but can be enabled in Symfony 5.4. Sulu Installation not using the old Symfony 5.4 security System and previous version are not impacted by this Security issue.

Patches

The problem has been patched in version 2.5.10.

Workarounds

Create a custom AuthenticationFailureHandler which does not return the $exception->getMessage(); instead the $exception->getMessageKey();
