Description
WebsiteBaker CMS before 2.13.10 contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in the module installation feature that allows authenticated administrators to achieve remote code execution by uploading a crafted ZIP archive containing a PHP webshell alongside a valid info.php metadata file. Attackers can place the malicious archive through the module installation interface, causing the application to extract the webshell into a web-accessible modules/ subdirectory where it becomes immediately executable by any unauthenticated user via direct HTTP request.

AI Analysis

Impact

WebsiteBaker CMS versions earlier than 2.13.10 allow administrators to upload any file during module installation. A crafted ZIP containing a PHP webshell is extracted into a publicly accessible modules/ directory, letting the attacker run the shell after the upload. The vulnerability provides uncontrolled code execution for the web application and opens the site to full compromise.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects the WebsiteBaker CMS produced by WebsiteBaker Org e.V. Only installations running a version older than 2.13.10 are impacted. No specific CPE strings are listed, but the affected product is the CMS itself.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.6 indicates high severity. Because an authenticated administrator is required to upload the archive, the attack vector is limited to privileged users accessing the administration console. Once the module is deployed, any unprivileged user can invoke the webshell via HTTP, providing remote code execution. The EPSS score is not available and the flaw is not included in the CISA KEV catalog, but the high CVSS still signals a significant risk if the system is not patched.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade WebsiteBaker CMS to version 2.13.10 or later to remove the flaw.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable the module installation feature or restrict upload privileges to trusted users.
  • Enforce file type validation and restrict write access to the modules/ directory to prevent unauthorized code execution.
