How to Fix GHSA-8m2r-x2m2-3wmw

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Duplicate Advisory dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

pimcore/pimcore fixed: Latest secure release 
Upgrade pimcore/pimcore to Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for pimcore/pimcore

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-8m2r-x2m2-3wmw, inspect your project dependencies for Duplicate Advisory:

inspect dependencies for pimcore/pimcore

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate Advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), 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-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. In Duplicate Advisory, 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.

Source Advisory Statement

Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-xr3m-6gq6-22cg. This link is maintained to preserve external references. Original Description A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Pimcore 11.4.2. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the component Search Document. The manipulation leads to basic cross site scripting. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
