inspect dependencies for pimcore/pimcoreHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-2984, inspect your project dependencies for Pimcore/pimcore:
inspect dependencies for pimcore/pimcoreAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Pimcore/pimcore in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 10.5.22), your application is affected.
Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-29: Path Traversal: '\..\filename', where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize '\..\filename' (leading backslash dot dot) sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. In Pimcore/pimcore, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"details" : "### Impact\n\nA path traversal vulnerability exists in the CMS, which allows an attacker to overwrite or modify sensitive files by manipulating the `pimcore_log` parameter.This can lead to potential denial of service---key file overwrite.\n\nThe impact of this vulnerability allows attackers to:\n\n- Overwrite or modify sensitive files, potentially leading to unauthorized access, privilege escalation, or disclosure of confidential information.\n\n- Tamper with system settings by modifying key files, such as the hosts file in Windows or configuration files for other services.\n\n- Cause a denial of service (DoS) if critical system files are overwritten or deleted.\n\nThe consequences of exploiting this vulnerability can be detrimental to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. It's crucial to address this vulnerability to protect sensitive data and ensure the proper functioning of the system.\n\n### Patches\nUpdate to version 10.5.22 or apply this patch manually https://github.com/pimcore/pimcore/commit/e8dbc4da58ae86618bceb67ed35ce23e5e54d2ed.patch\n\n### Workarounds\nApply patch https://github.com/pimcore/pimcore/commit/e8dbc4da58ae86618bceb67ed35ce23e5e54d2ed.patch manually.\n\n### References\nhttps://huntr.dev/bounties/5df8b951-e2f1-4548-a7e3-601186e1b191/",
