AI Analysis

Impact

OctoberCMS contains a server‑side request forgery flaw in the getSourcePathForResize function of ResizeImages.php. By manipulating the realSourcePath argument, an attacker can cause the application to fetch arbitrary URLs, potentially exposing internal resources or delivering malicious content to the CMS. This flaw falls under CWE‑918 and can lead to information disclosure or remote code execution if other vulnerabilities are combined.

Affected Systems

OctoberCMS versions 4.1.19, 4.2.25, and 4.3.4 are affected. The vulnerability resides in the modules/system/classes/ResizeImages.php file and is present in any OctoberCMS installation that has not been updated to the patched releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is not available and the issue is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. An attacker can exploit the flaw remotely via the image resize API; authentication is not required. The attack vector is inferred from the description, which states the exploit can be performed from remote. Given the lack of protection against external requests, the risk of successful exploitation is significant especially for publicly exposed sites.
