Description
Cachet through 2.4.1 contains a server-side template injection vulnerability in incident template rendering that allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code. Attackers can create malicious incident templates with Blade directives or Twig filters that execute system commands when incidents are created, achieving remote code execution as the web server process.

AI Analysis

Impact

Cachet releases up to version 2.4.1 allow an authenticated user to inject malicious content into incident templates. The vulnerable rendering process accepts Blade directives or Twig filters that, when processed, execute system commands, giving the attacker control over the web server process. This flaw is a classic server‑side template injection that can enable full remote code execution. The primary weakness is identified by CWE‑1336, with CWE‑863 indicating potential data leakage or unsanitized input handling.

Affected Systems

The affected vendor is CachetHQ, producing the Cachet status‑page software. Versions up to and including 2.4.1 are impacted, meaning any deployment running Cachet 2.4.1 or earlier is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 8.7 the vulnerability is considered high severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires legitimate user credentials to create a malicious incident template and then create or trigger an incident where the template is rendered. Once the template is executed, the attacker gains remote code execution as the web server user. The lack of exploitation probability data means the risk should be treated as actionable, and the high impact warrants immediate attention.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Cachet to the latest released version that addresses the template injection flaw
  • Restrict template creation rights to administrative users only, or if possible, disable dynamic template rendering altogether
  • Sanitize or whitelist Blade directives and Twig filters by configuring the template engine to disallow code execution directives
