Description
WebsiteBaker CMS before 2.13.10 contains a code injection vulnerability in the Droplets editor that allows authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary PHP code by submitting malicious content through the droplet Code field, which is written verbatim to a publicly accessible PHP file with no content sanitization. Attackers can save a PHP webshell via the save_droplet handler to a predictable path inside the modules directory, enabling unauthenticated users to achieve remote code execution by making direct HTTP requests to the written file.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw is a code injection vulnerability in the Droplets editor of WebsiteBaker CMS. An authenticated administrator can submit arbitrary PHP code via the droplet Code field, which is stored without sanitization into a PHP file that is publicly accessible. By doing so the attacker can create a webshell stored at a predictable location inside the modules directory, enabling any user to trigger remote code execution through a straight HTTP request. The vulnerability, classified as CWE‑94, therefore permits full compromise of the affected webserver.

Affected Systems

WebsiteBaker Org e.V. – WebsiteBaker CMS, versions earlier than 2.13.10 are affected. No other vendors or products are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.6 indicates a high‑severity flaw. The EPSS score is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting that it may not yet have widespread public exploitation. However, the attack path is clear: an authenticated admin uploads malicious PHP, which is then placed in a publicly reachable location, allowing unauthenticated users to execute code. Because the droplet file path is predictable, once the webshell is saved it is trivial for an attacker to trigger RCE by simply browsing to that URL. The combination of an authenticated upload requirement and subsequent unauthenticated code execution creates a serious risk of full system compromise.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade WebsiteBaker CMS to version 2.13.10 or later to eliminate the vulnerable droplet editor code.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict filesystem permissions and/or block web access to the modules directory where the webshell is stored, effectively preventing unauthenticated execution of the generated PHP file.
  • Disable or remove droplet editing functionality for all users except those with a strict need for it, ensuring that only vetted administrators can submit code via the droplet editor.
