See how camaleon cms compares to other vendors in security performance
Camaleon CMS versions 2.7.5 through 2.9.1 fail to validate redirect targets when fetching remote files in the Upload from URL media feature. Authenticated attackers can supply URLs that pass initial validation but redirect to internal network addresses, allowing server-side request forgery to internal services.
Camaleon CMS through 2.9.2, fixed in commit 88ab703, contains a missing authorization vulnerability on the drafts endpoint that allows any authenticated low-privileged user to create draft posts by bypassing role and permission checks. Attackers can send requests to the drafts endpoint using only session authentication to create unauthorized drafts that appear in the administrative drafts queue.
Camaleon CMS versions 2.1.1 through 2.9.1 contains an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability that allows users with customfields manage permission to execute arbitrary Ruby code by supplying a malicious expression through the selecteval custom field type. Attackers can store an attacker-controlled Ruby expression in the field options command parameter, which is evaluated via instanceeval within an ERB view whenever a post edit page is rendered, achieving server-side code execution with web server process privileges.
Camaleon CMS 2.9.2 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in the administrator draft autosave endpoint. A low-privileged authenticated user can send an arbitrary postid to POST /admin/posttype/<POSTTYPEID>/drafts and overwrite the draft associated with another user's post.
Several vulnerabilities were found in Camaleon CMS. Three vulnerabilities (GHSL-2024-182, GHSL-2024-183, GHSL-2024-184) can be exploited by “normal” authenticated users. Camaleon CMS instances where self-registration is enabled (e.g. to leave comments on posts) are especially endangered by these vulnerabilities.
