Overview

OctoberCMS versions up to 4.3.4 contain a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the image resize function. An attacker can supply crafted paths to force the server to request arbitrary URLs, potentially leaking internal resources or executing further attacks. The flaw is publicly known and can be exploited remotely.

Description

A vulnerability was found in OctoberCMS up to 4.1.19/4.2.25/4.3.4. The impacted element is the function getSourcePathForResize of the file modules/system/classes/ResizeImages.php. The manipulation of the argument realSourcePath results in server-side request forgery. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made public and could be used. Upgrading to version 4.3.5 and 4.4.0 is sufficient to resolve this issue. The patch is identified as 0e9736aa2c6d6bd3d60ff6ef9e0b4d32ce387f58. The affected component should be upgraded.

Impact

Confidentiality: potential exposure of internal URLs and data. Integrity: attacker may cause the server to fetch unintended resources, possibly altering application state. Availability: repeated requests could lead to DoS. Defenders: site administrators and developers using OctoberCMS must patch or mitigate.

Remediation

Upgrade to OctoberCMS 4.3.5 or 4.4.0. If upgrade is not possible, restrict the getSourcePathForResize input to allow only local file paths, e.g., validate against a whitelist or use a safe path resolver. Monitor outbound HTTP requests for suspicious patterns.

Risk context

Severity is high with CVSS 7.3; EPSS 0.00298 indicates low probability of exploitation but the vulnerability is publicly disclosed. Defenders should prioritize patching as soon as possible to mitigate potential remote exploitation.
