Sulu is an open-source PHP content management system based on the Symfony framework. Prior to versions 2.6.25 and 3.0.8, src/Sulu/Bundle/MediaBundle/Controller/MediaStreamController.php allows the /media/{id}/download/{slug} route and its administration variant to honor the inline query parameter for scriptable MIME types. The vulnerable stored Content-Type values include text/html, application/xhtml+xml, text/xml, and application/xml. An attacker with media upload permission can store an HTML, XHTML, or XML document and create a link using inline=1, causing the application to return the file on the Sulu origin instead of forcing Content-Disposition attachment. When an authenticated victim opens the link, attacker-controlled JavaScript can execute with the victim's Sulu-origin session and can read data or perform actions as that victim. This issue is fixed in versions 2.6.25 and 3.0.8.

Sulu is an open-source PHP content management system based on the Symfony framework. Prior to versions 2.6.25 and 3.0.8, the media move endpoint derives its permission check from the client-supplied collection value instead of the media item's actual source collection, and src/Sulu/Bundle/MediaBundle/Media/Manager/MediaManager.php allows MediaManager::move() to reassign the item without checking that source. An authenticated backend user with edit permission on one collection and knowledge of a target media identifier can name the allowed collection in the request, move an item out of a restricted collection, and then view or download content the user was not permitted to access. This issue is fixed in versions 2.6.25 and 3.0.8.

Sulu is an open-source PHP content management system based on the Symfony framework. Prior to versions 2.6.25 and 3.0.8, the preview-link endpoint and src/Sulu/Bundle/PreviewBundle/Application/Manager/PreviewLinkManager.php do not enforce VIEW permission for the target resource in PreviewLinkManager::generate() or PreviewLinkManager::revoke(). An authenticated administration user who knows a target resource identifier can create or revoke a preview link for any page, article, or snippet, including content in a webspace or area the user cannot view. A generated preview URL is public and resolves content by an opaque token, allowing the user or anyone receiving the link to read restricted content without authentication. This issue is fixed in versions 2.6.25 and 3.0.8.

Impact

A user which has permission for the Sulu Admin via atleast one role could have access to the subentities of contacts via the admin API without even have permission for contacts.

Patches

The issue was patched in release 2.6.22 and 3.0.5.

Workarounds

Create a Symfony Request Listener checking the permissions for the specific roles.

Impact

A admin user can upload SVG which may load external data via XML DOM library, specially this can be used for eventually reference none secure XML External Entity References.

Patches

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

- 2.6.9 - 2.5.25 - 3.0.0-alpha3

Workarounds

Patch the effect file src/Sulu/Bundle/MediaBundle/FileInspector/SvgFileInspector.php in sulu with:

diff -$dom->loadXML($svg, \LIBXMLNOENT | \LIBXMLDTDLOAD); +$dom->loadXML($data, LIBXMLNONET);

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.

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 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();

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 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.

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.

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.
