Concrete5 through 8.5.5 deserializes Untrusted Data. The vulnerable code is located within the controllers/single_page/dashboard/system/environment/logging.php Logging::update_logging() method. User input passed through the logFile request parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in a call to the file_exists() PHP function. This can be exploited by malicious users to inject arbitrary PHP objects into the application scope (PHP Object Injection via phar:// stream wrapper), allowing them to carry out a variety of attacks, such as executing arbitrary PHP code.

Please note that Cloud IAAS provider mis-configurations are not Concrete CMS vulnerabilities. A mitigation for this vulnerability is to make sure that the IMDS configurations are according to a cloud provider's best practices.This fix is also in Concrete version 9.0.0

You have to be an admin with the ability to upload files, but this bug gives you the ability to upload restricted file types and execute them depending on server configuration.To fix this, a check for allowed file extensions was added before downloading files to a tmp directory.Concrete CMS Security Team gave this a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.4 AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:NThis fix is also in Concrete version 9.0.0

Concrete5 up to and including 8.5.2 allows Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type such as a .php file via File Manager. It is possible to modify site configuration to upload the PHP file and execute arbitrary commands.

Concrete5 before 8.5.3 does not constrain the sort direction to a valid asc or desc value.

Concrete5 before 8.5.3 allows Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type such as a .phar file.

Concrete5 8.4.3 has XSS because config/concrete.php allows uploads (by administrators) of SVG files that may contain HTML data with a SCRIPT element.

A Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in tools/files/importers/remote.php in concrete5 8.2.0 can lead to attacks on the local network and mapping of the internal network, because of URL functionality on the File Manager page.

An issue was discovered in tools/conversations/view_ajax.php in Concrete5 before 8.3.0. An unauthenticated user can enumerate comments from all blog posts by POSTing requests to /index.php/tools/required/conversations/view_ajax with incremental 'cnvID' integers.

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the rcID parameter in Concrete CMS 5.4.1.1 and earlier.

Concrete CMS versions 9.0.0 through 9.3.3 are affected by a stored XSS vulnerability in the "Top Navigator Bar" block. Since the "Top Navigator Bar" output was not sufficiently sanitized, a rogue administrator could add a malicious payload that could be executed when targeted users visited the home page.The Concrete CMS Security Team gave this vulnerability a CVSS v4 score of 4.6 with vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:A/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/4. ...
